Jim Melli

I would like to show examples of work that I have done while working for the San Diego Natural History Museum. My work is the marriage of science and art. The work will include reconstructions of prehistoric life; both scale models and illustrations. I will also have some of the I D illustrations for our outdoor native plants gardens that surround the Museum as well as local wildlife. Last year I had a similar exhibit and enjoyed talking with visitors how we at the NAT use art to teach science and how art enhances the experience of our guests.

Rogalski

Art done by high school students based on their scientific study of birds: ornithology. Our display will connect conceptually with our Walk-in-painting that will be outside the art pavilion.

The installation, called "ChamäleTuna" beautifully combines the Tuna fish's shape and the Chameleon's color-changing behavior, which is ingeniously influenced by the clothing colors of the interacting audience. For instance, when a person wearing a red jacket approaches, ChamäleTuna detects the color and gracefully transforms to match the vibrant red hue.

Mia Grace Morel

Mia's artwork centers expression. Visual art unfurls using acrylic paints on wood panels, canvas, and clothing. Large faces and beautiful honeybees greet onlookers with inquisitive gaze. This artwork is to support liberation and truth.

I’ve worked with technologists to learn methods of documenting, organizing, automating, and building collaborative methods to maintain flow state. My visual art is mostly “unplanned” and helps me learn about what’s integral to my consciousness.
