Bob Goldstein web: www.bobgoldstein.art IG: @bob__goldstein Science is a rich source of visual textures, organic shapes, and historical characters for much of my work. I bridge art and science worlds, working professionally in both. I frequently find myself limited while working in science from forms of expression that find outlets in my art. I'm a professor in Biology and adjunct faculty in Art at UNC Chapel Hill, where I run a research lab and co-teach a cross-disciplinary Printmaking and Biology studio art course. Much of my work builds from my background as a scientist, making use of both ideas and processes that bridge art and science worlds (an example).
