[Betsy, co-mod]

Interesting article about a wood artist who had to get a science degree and do a ton of research and experimentation in order to accomplish her art, which is beautiful:

Terrific article on following your passion and learning along the way. Thank you for this, Betsy. That's how I feel life should be lived.

ooooh! Ooooh! I love it when fields come together! :)

Thanks Betsy!

And yes, I love her work! Wonderful!

Very cool! Artists who work in ceramics also enjoy experimenting with various compounds in glazes and colorings ... it is interesting what you come up with. Art and nature intersect.

This is a good book about the intersection of physics and art: Art and Physics: Parallel Visions in Space, Time, and Light. I had never realized there were so many parallels, before reading it. (Never quite finished it, though, unfortunately.)
