My art style varies from technical science illustration to looser, more whimsical pieces. I work in multiple types of media, like watercolor, acrylic, pen, microscope photography, and digital vector drawings. I have made and modified figures for publication in journals, illustrated the avatars and backgrounds of a web tutorial, and painted greeting cards and pet portraits. Art and science are not disparate disciplines, but heavily influence one another. Science thrives on passion and creativity, and art illustrates the wonder and beauty of science. My current focus is communicating science through different media to help people appreciate and understand the world around them. carmenkraus.weebly.com
