Dancing Helix fine art prints

The Dancing Helix art prints belong to a series of work exploring the beauty and complexity of the iconic double-stranded helix.

The flowing shapes and patterns interpret the constant winding-unwinding motion of the DNA molecule.

Scroll for what’s included with your fine art print and to explore the science behind the art.

About the Dancing Helix fine art prints.

Dancing Helix artwork begins with pencil on paper to shape the composition; then, portions are painted and digitized. Using digital tools, I add layers of translucent colors to capture the double helix’s flowing shape and dynamic quality.

DNA in the nucleus is packaged into chromosomes that twist and bend to bring parts close together to activate genes. The framed print shown above, Emerald-Gold-Blue, is one of many designs in a series that interpret this lively behavior.
