three-dimensional medical illustration

She takes us on a journey of discovery into the innermost part of the human being.

Training

Alex has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia, and a Masters of Science in Medical Illustration from the Medical College of Georgia.

Approach

The medical subject matter means a good deal of research goes into each project Alex works on. After gathering information, she lets her mind wander and perhaps goes for a run before coming up with some concepts. Although she says her pencil is her most important tool, she does almost all her painting in Photoshop. The area of the body she’s painting and whether it’s internal or external will often influence the colour scheme.

Styles

Alex works in two main styles, depending on the intended audience. The first is light and sketchy, with the pencil drawing showing through for a hand-made feel. Her second style is darker and heavier. Alex imagines being a small spectator inside the body, like in the film The Fantastic Voyage, where the surroundings are like an alien landscape. She works with atmospherics, textures and depth of field for a style that breaks from the expected.

Interview

What drew you to illustration/design? I've been drawing since I was very little and just never stopped.Do you have any formal design training? I studied Scientific Illustration at the University of Georgia, where I also took a lot of fine arts courses. I have a Master's of Science in Medical Illustration from the Medical College of Georgia.Where are you originally from? Bristol, UK.Where do you live now & what drew you there? I live in Asheville NC. We moved here from New Orleans after Katrina because we wanted to live on higher ground.Where is your studio and can you describe it for me? My husband and I share a large studio on the second floor of our house. It's full of tables, art supplies, Macs with big screens, shelves and shelves of medical books and a skeleton named Hugo. And a sleeping dog or two.Do you keep a scrapbook? No. I keep random piles, and I stick a lot of things on the wall.What are your interests outside of illustration? Reading and painting mostly. I started running a few years ago and am about a week away from my 8th marathon. I also take martial arts with my daughter. I won't spar with her. She's 12, bigger than me and has a mean punch.Tell us about a favourite project you've recently completed. I do a monthly cover illustration for an OB/GYN magazine and loved last month's cover on abnormal placentation. The feet of the baby are showing and I love how they worked out.What would be your dream job/commission? I love a good challenge. I love digging into a job where there is no obvious answer.Do you have a method for dealing with the feeling of having no ideas?Walk away. Do something else, something mindless, something physical like gardening or running and let your subconscious mind wander.Have you any hidden talents? I can make fantastic red beans and rice, and a pretty good etouffee. We go back to New Orleans every year for Mardi Gras and I can sew/make costumes.If you could live anywhere, where would you go? I really love right where I am.If you could travel back in time, who would be the one person you would want to meet? DaVinci. I love a curious mind.What do you have bookmarked? Netflix, Design Sponge, Craigslist, The Happiness Project, and too many cooking and surgical sites to name.Why do fools fall in love? The sex drive primarily originates from dopaminergic activity modulated by hormones (testosterone and estrogen) along the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, which connects the ventral tegument area and the nucleus accumbens. I could totally draw it for you.
