ABOUT ME! 

My name is Hiba Yacoub, and I am a university student in my final year of my undergraduate degree. I am an interdisciplinary arts and science major, with a major concentration in visual arts and a minor concentration in biology. I am passionate about the intersection of biology and art because it allows me to explore and appreciate the best of both worlds—the natural world (biology) and the creative/expressive realm (art). Being a part of Dr. Jennifer Willet's Bioart course enabled me to see first-hand the unique beauty each discipline contributes to the other by giving the chance to participate in assignments that allow me to experience this intersection of biology and art in creative and unique ways. 

 

In this E-portfolio, I am presenting my capstone research project, which was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Willet. This capstone project aims to delve into the world of bioart by creating paint pigments from natural/organic ingredients and using them to produce a painting. My research on the topic, the process of pigment creation, and sample paintings are showcased on this site.

 

Enjoy!
