Rosa Science and Bio Art
I have always been fascinated by the diversity of nature, the wings on a dragonfly, the deep colour on a petal of a flower, plant leaf shapes, beetles and butterfly wings the seamlessly never ending variety nature has to offer in general. Nature is the artist and teacher, my inspiration and I am finding new ways to portray this through experimenting with modern materials and techniques.
Growing up in the west of Ireland and having spent time, swimming in the sea, exploring the fields or in the woods, inspired me towards organic art and design. Ever since I can remember I have drawn pictures and in 2003 I finished a year course in art, design and portfolio preparation. furniture and design in Galway technical institute.
I went on to complete a bachelor degree in Science, Design and Manufacture and Wood Technology. Some of my favorite designers include the Catalonian architect, Gaudi and Ireland's own talented furniture designer Joseph Walsh.
My art work has since expanded and evolved thanks to traveling to Africa, family trips across Europe, drawing wildlife in hard to get to places like in the forest in Senegal, photographing flora and fauna in the alps, collecting insects and gathering inspiration on every step of the journey.
PaleoMoz & National Geographic
In 2019 I designed a logo for PaleoMoz. This inspiring organisation was set up by a team of scientists from Portuguese institutions in collaboration with the National Geology Museum of Mozambique. They aim to promote the scientific development of Mozambique by preserving and enriching its palaeontological heritage and training the first generation of Mozambican palaeontologists.
PaleoMoz is funded by national geographic, their dedicated team travels to some of the most remote landscapes in search of new discoveries, expanding our knowledge of the unique diversity of Mozambique's paleo flora and fauna.
The logo
We began with several ideas, drawn up sketches and finished with many ideas in PowerPoint. This creative genius offered many possibilities for choosing the finished picture. Then after discussion together, the idea was finalised and drawn in a high standard in Photoshop.
“There is no more convincing proof of the truth of a comprehensive theory than its power of absorbing and finding a place for new facts, and its capability of interpreting phenomena which had been previously looked upon as unaccountable anomalies”.
