About Michelle

Harford County
a sophomore student at harford community college. a biology and physics major who has always loved art.


sometimes i try to combine science and art, since they are super related in practice.

regardless, i try to keep up where i can.
putting all your time in learning one thing can take away from other things.

old stuff and song art

these are older drawings i did when i stuck to just a sharpie and paper.
i didn't like using color then, and even now, i still feel a little shaky on the use of color.
i'd like to return to this style of art at some point though i've had my eyes opened in terms of color.

    this is a compressed quality photo of one of about 40 plates of p. fluorescens. i don't have access to many assays commonly used to test for viability, i decided that i could use a quantitative but simple method to determine if there were noticeable differences in the amount of p. fluorescens that grows after treatment. i used different dilutions, though for the next trial if i am to continue, i know i have to further alter the dilution factor to get more countable results.
