Darwin2009: Art and Evolution

As Art Director for the project Regenerative Medicine Partnership in Education, I've been very busy with our latest project - Darwin 2009! This project has been a fantastic opportunity to work with several museums in Pittsburgh and their amazing exhibit, programs and education departments. Their flexibility allowed us to create a complete suite of experiences and a coherent presence throughout the city for students, teachers, scholars and any curious individuals through art, interactive displays, interactive tools, lesson plans and more. A true multidisciplinary enterprise that involved artists, scientists, educators and students!
