Hey all! If you missed my live webinar, it’s now available on youtube! Learn a bit about how illustration is used in science, take a tour through a bunch of work I’ve done for IBP, and stay tuned at the end for a brief photoshop demo and some Q&A.

I recently finished a really fun private commission! These are speculative hybrids - Cedar Waxwing crossed with Scarlet and Western tanagers. This could probably never happen in reality, but it’s so fun to imagine what the resulting bird could look like if it ever did!

The past few weeks I have been working hard to produce a new collection of unique fine jewellery and objects.
Each piece starts in wax, which I carefully shape before it is cast into precious metal. I then meticulously solder and hand work each metal form before setting carefully selected diamonds, sapphires and other valuable gemstones. For this collection I have hand set over 100 gems
Visit @po8gallery this month to see the jewellery and objects from “beneath the surface” along with a series of large neuroscience prints I created while @qldbraininstitute

Normally invisible, these dynamic branches and tubulations are a just a few of the many internal compartments of a single cell. They’ve been made to glow by using green fluorescent protein found in jellyfish
.
When I was studying neuroscience all I wanted to do was get involved in research on consciousness, but I took a side step and started an imaging project in a cancer biology lab with Prof. Jenny Stow @uniofqld This is when I first started using microscopes to image fluorescent proteins in cells.
Its one thing to know that without your awareness every single cell in your body is almost vibrating with activity and something entirely different to actually see it with your own eyes. Looking down into an ocean of darkness and seeing these glowing worlds alive within cells was a profound experience that completely captured my imagination. A few years later I started work establishing an imaging facility @qldbraininstitute so these techniques could be used to study the brain. It’s been such an incredible journey to see this technique move from allowing us to see inside a single cell, like in this movie I captured over a decade ago, to watching every neuron in a brain flashing with activity.
.
This dynamic intracellular activity and the even smaller structures that surround these tubules and spheres helped inspire the jewellery and objects I’m exhibiting with @po8gallery this month. Opening night Thursday 6th. Come and see!!

A number of the pieces I’ve created for the exhibition opening @po8gallery next week combine both lost wax and fabrication techiques. This ring holds a beautiful 1ct Australian parti sapphire in 18ct white gold. Illuminated from all sides and visible from above it sits protected by an organic veil of 18ct yellow gold.
.
Beneath the Surface explores our growing capability to make the invisible visible, which is revealing previously unknown worlds of hidden beauty within us.

Sneak preview for my upcoming solo show with @po8gallery / A selection of 11 Australian blue and green sapphires with a brilliant white diamond are set into the inner surface of this 18ct yellow gold ring. Ready for the final centre stone
.
Beneath the Surface opens April 6 and will include a new collection of fine jewellery, silver sculpture and digital images from my work @qldbraininstitute
