I'm Immy. I’m a neuroscientist by day, and an insomniac artist by night. The oddest things in nature and the cells under my microscope, inspire me to make art - on public transport, between experiments, and late at night. I'm interested in the overlaps between scientific ideas, biological images, and surrealism. In my waking dreams imaginary cells and strange creatures come out to play... the subconscious can be a busy place, so I try to accommodate all the deep-sea-neuronal-carnivorous fungi-plankton-plants that grow in my mind. They’re so demanding, but so endearing I just can’t resist them. In the surrealist game of ‘Exquisite Corpse’, I'm privileged to collaborate with amazing minds from all over the world, and constantly challenged to improve my skills. Automatic drawing is also very important to me. I'm short and have many cats. I like to grow brain cells in jars, listen to radio comedy, and make vegetarian curry, cake and tea.

I'm starting a blog at brainheartart.blogspot.co.uk so come say hi ^^

Oh and I like to make jokes about marmots everytime someone says the word "serious".
