“My aim is to use the techniques and aesthetics of Scientific Naturalism as a visual language to produce images based on the close observation of the contemporary landscapes of my country and the places I visit. I also have an interest for the role that female naturalists have played in the development of this discipline, and most of all, to uncover the thin line that separates art from science”.
