Ellen Slupe

At the Hershey Medical Center she developed an interest in cellular physiology while working with an electron microscope. The random microscopic components seen floating in cellular spaces would later influence her abstract art.

Entering the art world with a background in science and art history provides an amazing repertoire of information and ideas to develop.
