Art Reel

Art and creativity have been my companions since I was a young child. I find it healing to create art and can spend hours and hours on projects, forgetting about everything else, when I get on a roll. I love to use art to get in touch with myself, to process emotions, to capture emotions for which there are no words, to capture the beauty of nature, and much more. I also love to share art with others, whether we are co-appreciating or co-creating together. Browse the art reel below to see some of my recent projects.

DANCING DISKS

In this video, I play Comptine d`un autre ete – l`apres-midi, from the film, Amelie (2001). The animations are based on a molecular dynamics simulation program that I developed as an applied physics doctoral student. After leaving the program to pursue a career in psychology, I adapted the code so that simulations would be driven by music.

PHOTO SOUP

PhotoSoup is a simple program I wrote in Python to simulate a long-exposure shot without having to worry about overexposure. The program works by creating an output image in which the pixels are the average of pixels from the set of input images. In the examples below, you can slide the slider left and right to view (on the left) one of the input images and (on the right) the PhotoSoup’d image.
