In the autumn of 2011 and 2015 I traveled to Antarctica to work with biologist Dr. Sam Bowser and his research team. I was there to assist with the scientific research and dive teams and, in one way or another, incorporate this experience into my own work as a visual artist. The paintings on the right were inspired by those months living in Antarctica.
