“Lion Fish”-This was a rare Saturday morning shoot that brought an unexpected surprise. @marylucia__ and her natural affinity to the water. Her enthusiasm shows in her work here - she though she resembled a Lionfish in this dress. #lionfish #lionfishhunt #underwaterart #underwaterglamour #professionalmodels #modelmayhem #strobes #dennymanufacturing #backdrops #saturdaymorning #underwaterphotography #aquaticadigital #nude #photoofthedaychallenge #photooftheday2019 #weddingdress #backscatter #beautifulwomen #red #blackhair #portraits #fineartportraits (at Cresskill, New Jersey)

I logged in to Tumblr last night, just in time to see that My Marjorie Lee Browne portrait illustration made yesterday’s Tumblr Radar. So exciting! Thanks so much to the Radar folks and to everyone who liked and reblogged! There are so many instrumental black and/or female figures who have been overlooked by our historical canon. I’m so happy I could help people learn a little about one of them. I hope that what people take from this is that there are a whole hell of a lot of cool people out there who we never learn about in school. Thanks to the Internet, you can easily go forth and learn about them and then share your findings with the world!
P.S.: A math teacher approached me about purchasing a print of this illustration for her classroom. I’ve made 7x10 prints available in my shop, here.

Since it’s the first day of Black History Month, it seems appropriate that I share this portrait of Marjorie Lee Browne, who was one of the first African-American women to receive a doctorate in mathematics. Quoted from Wikipedia:
Browne’s work on classical groups demonstrated simple proofs of important topological properties of and relations between classical groups. Her work in general focused on linearandmatrix algebra. Browne saw the importance of computer science early on, writing a $60,000 grant to IBM to bring a computer to NCCU in 1960 – one of the first computers in academic computing, and probably the first at a historically black school. Throughout her career, Browne worked to help gifted mathematics students, educating them and offering them financial support to pursue higher education. Notable students included Joseph Battle, William Fletcher, Asamoah Nkwanta, and Nathan Simms. She established summer institutes to provide continuing education in mathematics for high school teachers. In 1974 she was awarded the first W. W. Rankin Memorial Award from the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics for her work with mathematics education.
I completed this illustration a while back for Women’s Work, a really awesome zine on women - past and present - working in STEM. The project was put together and curated by the wonderfully talented Shannon MayandCeline Loup. You can learn more about the zine and see more art here.
*EDIT* A math teacher approached me about purchasing a print of this illustration for her classroom. I’ve made 7x10 prints available in my shop, here.
