Watercolor painting depicting cell division

Artist Michele Banks uses watercolor to depict natural, scientific, and medical phenomena. This one above shows cell divisions (note that it's not meant to be completely accurate); another one I like is a bright blue canvas with a single line showing someone's heart rate. Her work is available for sale in the Makers Market/Boing Boing Bazaar!

It’s beautiful and I’d like to listen to A Very Cellular Song (Incredible String Band) while looking at it

Ah, so pretty! I can totally see it as framed art in healthcare offices. So bright and positive. Love watercolors, love biology. Awesome!

Hi guys – it’s the artist here. Just wanted to mention that I’ll showing my work at the Maker Faire in NY on September 25-26. Come check it out IRL : )

I own two pieces of Michelle’s work. One I even commissioned from her. She has a wide range of styles and I look forward to purchasing more pieces.
