Any scientist will say that their field of science is an art and I think for synthetic chemistry that is very true. When the field of chemistry was still alchemy much of it was a mixture of art and luck. An artist wouldn't have pigments without inorganic chemistry or mineral spirits without organic chemistry. Art has been the most effective way to communicate or reach a broad audience. I think it's important to connect people to science using art because in our country there's a strong anti-science mentality. Science art is a way to show individuals that science is not something to be feared, hated, or avoided but embraced. I love being able to connect my audience with the world around them on a more intimate scale using chemistry-based art. It shows that you don't always have to completely understand a subject to appreciate it. My hope is to help people open their minds to learn more about their environment and how intertwined we are with it.
