I am pleased to share that I have a solo exhibition of my artwork from my Cajal Inventory series in the West Alcove Gallery at the NIH, Clinical Center. The exhibition opened on January 13, 2025; will run through April 5, 2025. Exhibition Overview: This exhibition features my artwork that depicts aspects of Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s scientific research. Cajal is considered by many to be the father of modern neuroscience. Through a series of ink media drawings, I illustrate and reinterprets Cajal’s scientific illustrations. The process examines his process through the act of drawing, and by doing so I have gained historical insight; he did not always sketch his work in pencil prior to using ink. His level of competence and rigor enabled him to execute his work in ink without sketching in pencil first. My series explores Cajal’s personal & professional life, emphasizing his scientific discoveries & his self-representation through photography. #Cajal #neuroscience #añocajal #Neuron #SciArt #neurology #cell #CellBiology #FulbrightProgram #Fulbright #DrawingoftheDay #NIH @FulbrightPrgrm @InstitutoCajal @FulbrightSpain @NIH
This is a collage image featuring seven drawings illustrating Cajal and his scientific works, along with a portrait of artist Dawn Hunter. The top row includes a drawing of the Purkinje Cell, an illustration of Cajal's first sketchbook, and a portrait drawing of Cajal. The second row features a title flyer held beneath a framed drawing of Cajal, a photograph of artist Dawn Hunter in a purple blouse, and an illustration of Cajal's retina drawing. The bottom row includes an illustration of Cajal's retinal flow drawing, an illustration of Cajal's photographic self-portrait, and an illustration of Cajal's olfactory drawing.

My daughter spent a year creating a cross-stitch replica of my light blue greenhouse - complete with trailing Tomatoes, my favourite Amaranthus, hanging baskets & my granddad’s spade retirement gift from 1970 which I treasure. Best Christmas present ever - made with love ❤️❤️❤️ – at Tring, England
