Art + the Human Body

My parenting journey started with the heart. My daughter was born with a rare heart defect & needed open heart surgery at 11 days old. I decided to draw hearts as a way to cope. 

I took those heart drawings & published a coloring book in May 2021. In September 2021, I made a 100 piece NFT collection called Anatomical Hearts.

The process was so meaningful, and the relationships I've made are so wonderful. I have been motivated to continue supporting the medical community by drawing additional anatomical pieces. And that is how The Anatomical Project was born. I hope that these art pieces will connect with people and their own personal journeys.

The Anatomical Project is an on-going project where, over time, I am going to release additional parts of the body as 100 piece NFT sets. At the conclusion of these sets, I plan to release coloring books of each anatomical body part. 

Right now I am working on lungs, kidneys, livers, and brains. Please reach out if you would like to see something specific in the future.
