The human eye can observe many things, but what it could not see was either deemed as imagination, mythology or nonexistent; until the microscope. This series of paintings and prints investigates the view from a microscope. Images of wood cells, cross sections of trees, seed pods, pollen, and even everyday and not so everyday drugs. These micro views all have a beauty that is not usually seen by any but the chemist.
