I am a scientist who makes art. I co-teach a cross-disciplinary Printmaking and Biology studio art course at UNC Chapel Hill with artist and professor Beth Grabowski, and I do printmaking at home from a studio that you might easily mistake for a shed... given the rakes, shovels, and lawnmower you'd find in there.
