Acrylic pour on canvas

Antje Heese-Peck was born and raised in Dortmund (Germany), enjoying art classes offered by her middle and high schools, all while exploring different media. Her university studies and career in plant biology allowed her to live in four different countries and travel around the world before starting her own research lab as a Biochemistry Professor at the University of Missouri (Columbia MO) in 2006. As a plant cell biochemist, she explores acrylic pour and watercolor techniques to let go of the constraints of scientific methods and create free-flowing cellular structures inspired by nature.
