As an artist, professor, and Fulbright Scholar, I have the privilege of exploring and breathing "the life" of Cajal's intricate scientific sketches within the four walls of my studio. Just as the swirling hues of a nebula inspire the astronomer, the delicate complexities of Cajal's drawings breathe inspiration into my work.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Cajal's life, filled with discovery and dedication to neuroscience, forms the bedrock of my artistry. His meticulously crafted drawings are not just records of the earliest ventures into the intricate labyrinth of the human brain but also beautiful works of art that capture the fascination and wonder that the human brain inspires.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In this post, we'll embark on a journey to explore Neuroscientist and emerging artist Dr. Hannah Warming. She is the founder of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/needlesandneurons" rel="" target="_blank"><b>'Needles & Neurons,'</b></a> a burgeoning movement within the art world where neuroscience melds with the age-old art of embroidery. Needles & Neurons mission is to raise money for Alzheimer's Research by selling finished embroideries, embroidery patterns, and kits. This emerging artistic expression reflects a blurring of the lines between scientific exploration and creative expression, much like Cajal did with his illustrative documentation of Neuroscience. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Hannah's work is far from being merely popular; it is critically acclaimed and deeply respected in both Neuroscience and artistic communities. To this recognition, her works have graced the cover of the prestigious Lancet journal and featured prominently in the Journal Consilience. But beyond creating beautiful, intellectually engaging art, Hannah's work also has a profoundly humanitarian dimension. Each sale of her embroidery designs contributes to <a href="https://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/" rel="" target="_blank"><b>Alzheimer's Research UK,</b></a> raising significant funds to support research into this devastating disease.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Her creations push traditional needlework boundaries, weaving in drawing and painting elements to deepen the conceptual connections between form and content. She uses social media platforms to share her creative journey and underline scientific research's importance, sparking dialogues and connections with her ever-growing audience. This vibrant engagement has led to special graphic design commissions from the international community, further amplifying her impact.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDa94pKauAYMT_4E_T9RgOglWv_Z9ftQNZghGwjg1grjqejvm_-N9ZsDweei2G4qfEek1V5l6tMh6kvT_2b4-UfwSh9fTU66_-x4fx4CySKiAkLbjq0i-AXWAF4BCYNAfrNPCwIIsx3JNSSqmErKdMBGQhm4Qw7d0IDPmfaurUKBLYB6xNBAACHgJWLQ/s6000/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Hannah%20Warming_Needles%20and%20Neurons_Embroidery1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDa94pKauAYMT_4E_T9RgOglWv_Z9ftQNZghGwjg1grjqejvm_-N9ZsDweei2G4qfEek1V5l6tMh6kvT_2b4-UfwSh9fTU66_-x4fx4CySKiAkLbjq0i-AXWAF4BCYNAfrNPCwIIsx3JNSSqmErKdMBGQhm4Qw7d0IDPmfaurUKBLYB6xNBAACHgJWLQ/w640-h426/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Hannah%20Warming_Needles%20and%20Neurons_Embroidery1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: times;">Microscopy inspired embroidery of a Neuron by Dr. Hannah Warming of Needles & Neurons.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Needles & Neurons is more than an artistic endeavor; it's a labor of love. Each piece that Hannah crafts are wrapped with care and shipped to collectors with personal touches like custom stickers and thoughtful thank-you notes. Despite her bustling schedule as a postdoc researcher at the <a href="https://www.ox.ac.uk/" rel="" target="_blank"><b>University of Oxford,</b></a> Hannah found time to share her passion and the important work she's doing in an interview for this blog post. She firmly believes in the power of creativity to effect change and raise awareness, with each stitch serving as a testament to this belief. You can support this critical cause and own a piece of this beautiful artistry through her <a href="https://ko-fi.com/needlesandneurons" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Ko-Fi</b></a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/NeedlesAndNeurons" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Etsy</b></a> stores.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now, let's examine briefly some of the scientific methods that underpin some of Dr. Warming's inspiration for these artworks: electrophysiology. This cutting-edge technique allows researchers to capture and study the electrical symphony that orchestrates our neural activity. By gently introducing a minuscule electrode into a neuron, scientists can measure the shifts in voltage as the neuron engages, providing valuable insight into the communication patterns of these complex cells.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">An electrophysiologist often finds themselves at the forefront of these intricate studies. Armed with micropipettes, they meticulously record electrical signals emanating from cells. Every bit of data gathered brings them a step closer to understanding the secrets of how these cells operate and interact, thereby opening up possibilities for new treatment methodologies for various neurological disorders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Picture this: a dedicated neuroscientist in the laboratory, a micropipette carefully positioned to contact a neuron, adjusting and fine-tuning the parameters to capture the purest signal. Dr. Hannah Warming has experienced that as she anticipates with excitement the treasure trove of new data she is collecting, knowing that hours of analysis and discovery lie ahead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">She once noted, "When I engage in electrophysiology, my interaction with the cells goes beyond mere observation. I literally touch and manipulate them. I place the pipette against the cell membrane, delicately breach it, and start recording the inner electrical currents. It's an intimate dance of science and discovery."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoyp6C85NE8QtJOFYJxopFMb-AFUlFEgKduwL9H_wUIOpACAplXBdwbCyQrnq-3MBjrCqRQrZo_bY-8QJkX-R7B-FUzyhveWZydKq-CYXeXOZ_sGwBsNgDJ2OEO_3EJKPtxFmNetCsw1ha0blbrmSabuN40IUrYeDA2MoalR5EctFihyU3BXykvR_hdw/s6000/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Hannah%20Warming_Needles%20and%20Neurons_NMDA%20receptor.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoyp6C85NE8QtJOFYJxopFMb-AFUlFEgKduwL9H_wUIOpACAplXBdwbCyQrnq-3MBjrCqRQrZo_bY-8QJkX-R7B-FUzyhveWZydKq-CYXeXOZ_sGwBsNgDJ2OEO_3EJKPtxFmNetCsw1ha0blbrmSabuN40IUrYeDA2MoalR5EctFihyU3BXykvR_hdw/w640-h426/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Hannah%20Warming_Needles%20and%20Neurons_NMDA%20receptor.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: times;">Detail of embroidery of <span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">the isoform of NMDAR the lab discovered during Dr. Hannah Warming's Master's research.

Once I had completed the kit, I looked for ideas of what to stitch next, and as I was stuck at home and missing the lab, I tried out embroidering a neuron with a patch clamp pipette – my first piece of science art! It was a bit wonky, but I loved how easily embroidery came to me and how therapeutic it was as an art form.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Dawn:</span></b> Have you always created artwork?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Hannah:</span></b> Since childhood, I have loved to draw and paint, but I never felt I was particularly "good" at getting the image in my head onto the paper - so for many years, I fell out of touch with my creative side. I had tried crochet in the past (inspired by my very talented sister!), however, I couldn't seem to get the tension right, and everything looked a bit wonky. With embroidery, something just clicked, and it felt like finally, I was able to get my ideas out in an accurate way. I love how the threads closely resemble the axons and neurites I see in my cells in the lab and the different textures you can create with one medium. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Dawn:</span></b> What inspired you to raise money for Alzheimer's research?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Hannah:</span></b> During my Master's degree research and Ph.D. studies, I was part of a lab that primarily focused on Alzheimer's disease, although my own research was in other neuroscience topics. Our lab was supported significantly by funding from the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, who facilitated many great opportunities for me and my colleagues, such as conference attendances and networking meetings to aid our development as scientists and drive research forwards. I decided I wanted to use the new hobby & my accumulating stack of finished embroideries to raise funds and give something back, so ARUK was the clear choice! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">ARUK works hard to support research into improving not only the future for people with dementia with new diagnostics and treatments, but also to improve quality of life for those currently affected by the disease. Recently, much of the industrial research funding into neuroscience and diseases like Alzheimer's has been withdrawn as these conditions are difficult to treat and therefore not "profitable" enough, and so to see change in the future, the support of organizations like ARUK is a necessity.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Dawn:</span></b> How do you decide what you want to embroider?

Any that aren't my own design are usually based on the drawings of Ramón y Cajal – his intricate drawings of neurons are the perfect inspiration! I also like to copy my own microscopy from my lab work, if I take a particularly nice photo of a cell I have made recordings from.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I go through phases of what will be the subject of my designs based on what I see in my research – for example, when I was growing bacterial cultures in the lab to isolate DNA, I made some beaded petri dishes mimicking bacterial colonies. Nowadays, I spend time on the microscope imaging neurons I have made recordings from, and these are inspiring my current works. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have also had the pleasure of making many commissioned embroideries, usually as gifts for my customers' colleagues or graduating students. I believe the art should be scientifically accurate – this is a fun way to learn about new topics and cell types so that I can generate a design and stitch something that the recipient can enjoy as being personal to them.

Over time I developed an interest in neurodegenerative disease and chose to take more modules on the topic. My Master's thesis was in the study of NMDA receptors, a type of protein that facilitates excitation through cell membranes and a key mediator of cell-to-cell communication. Our lab discovered a new form of the receptor that hadn't been previously identified in humans, which I found so exciting, and it led me to become very interested in the mechanisms of cell communication. This is also where I first tried patch-clamp as a technique and loved it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">From there, I decided to combine my interest in neurodegenerative disease with studying cell communication, and I studied cell damage in haemorrhagic stroke for my Ph.D. thesis, looking at how haemoglobin from the blood can alter cell health and communication. I'm now very passionate about understanding the brain, and I can't imagine working in a different field.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Dawn:</span></b> What is the current focus of your Post Doc research? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Hannah:</span></b> After four years of studying stroke, I decided on a change in direction – but still wanted to use patch clamp in my work. I am currently working at the University of Oxford in the lab of Dr. Simon Butt, where we study brain development. I get to use really cool techniques to look at cell communications in the developing mouse brain by combining patch-clamp with laser-activation of cell signaling. We are investigating how certain treatments, such as antidepressants, can modify development and may lead to sensory disorders later in life. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's been a steep learning curve going from studying stroke to brain development in different regions of the brain than I am familiar with, but I love widening my neuroscience knowledge, and the techniques I use make it barely feel like work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Dawn:</span></b> How do you see art fitting into your life in the future?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Hannah:</span></b> I really feel I have found "my" craft with embroidery, and I hope to continue it for many years to come. Post-PhD life is very busy, and I sadly have less time to focus on art these days; however, it is still my favorite thing to do in my downtime. I personally love having embroidery in my home, whether it is mine or from other artists, and my pieces I keep for myself tell a tale of my career so far. I hope to build on that and use art as a way to keep in touch with the neuroscience world wherever I end up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Dawn:</span></b> I have noticed a lot of people with PhDs in neuroscience recently have pursued careers in the creative field, like illustration, graphic design, and visual communications.

Some of my pieces take upward of 60 hours to complete, which is more suited to art for leisure rather than for professional projects with deadlines, such as in science communication. I love seeing fellow scientists branch out into creative fields and how each person has their own style in conveying information visually. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">That said, I do enjoy writing and creating graphics to communicate my research, and I have always loved public engagement to promote awareness of scientific information to a wider audience.

However, I have no intention of stopping embroidery under the name Needles & Neurons, and I will continue raising funds to support Alzheimer's Research UK – I still have multiple works in progress at any given time; they just take a little longer to complete! I would love to keep up my creative outlet, and maybe one day, when I am settled into a career, I might have a little more time to offer more kits, patterns, and tutorials to engage the next generation of scientists in science art too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzdT6cQHJ2ha9NkpwaIygWtsSakTASS3Z2VaJp7UVaOToF6k9UIXmeen4aJXQaGtoFrvjjKoV8LswYVKGWYjCrYpbm6548jipguDEwG7xgEdvB2HxYLp2_YR_ZzeyGtWvZGyCNZsBnzJnKGyrovT2U6z1Nr2-3IuyEZ0xD2N5pGjeG13g6x_MUzkpyA/s2824/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Hannah%20Warming_Embroideries%20of%20Needles%20and%20Neurons.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2824" data-original-width="2824" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzdT6cQHJ2ha9NkpwaIygWtsSakTASS3Z2VaJp7UVaOToF6k9UIXmeen4aJXQaGtoFrvjjKoV8LswYVKGWYjCrYpbm6548jipguDEwG7xgEdvB2HxYLp2_YR_ZzeyGtWvZGyCNZsBnzJnKGyrovT2U6z1Nr2-3IuyEZ0xD2N5pGjeG13g6x_MUzkpyA/w640-h640/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Hannah%20Warming_Embroideries%20of%20Needles%20and%20Neurons.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: times;">Above are several examples of biology and neuroscience embroideries by Dr. Hannah Warming.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comOxford, UK51.7548164 -1.254366823.444582563821157 -36.4106168 80.065050236178848 33.9018832tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600178827940883609.post-37554012039008365802023-06-08T21:18:00.078-07:002023-07-27T12:57:54.047-07:00Exploring the Wonders of the Human Brain: A Journey through Science and Art at the Madrid Book Fair<p>The 82nd Madrid Book Fair, spanning the duration of two weeks (May 26-June 11, 2023), is welcoming visitors with a multitude of booths representing nearly 1,000 publishing houses across 424 exhibitors. This year's event has undergone modifications aimed at redesigning specific areas to enhance the accessibility of books and alleviate congestion. One noteworthy addition is the implementation of the "shadow project," whereby select sections of the fairgrounds will be covered with tarps. This initiative has been made possible through the support of the Healthy Skin Foundation of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.</p><p>Another departure from the Madrid Book Fair tradition is the omission of the customary "Guest Country" designation, which has been replaced by the overarching theme and motto: </p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><i>"We're into Science and Letters"</i> <span style="font-family: georgia;">[<span style="background-color: white;">#DeCienciasYLetras]</span></span><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 20px;"> </span></h2><p>In line with this new approach, exploring scientific literature, many activities are organized to include an established "Science Square" that serves as a collective epicenter of the fair.

In this context, activities explore diverse manifestations we encounter, like the metadata that impacts cyber algorithms that shape our social networks and our individual and collective identities. Other presentations of contemporary existence, such as emerging artificial technologies, have showcased how art is integrated into our lives through scientific illustrations. To that end, the Madrid Book Fair welcomed esteemed guests, including Alejandro Vergara Sharp, the head of the Conservation Area of Flemish Painting and Northern Schools at the <a href="https://www.museodelprado.es/en" rel="" target="_blank"><b>Prado Museum,</b></a> and José Ramón Marcaida, the Head Scientist of the History of Science Department at the CSIC History Institute. Together, these two experts shed light on the captivating interplay between art and science during the 15th and 16th centuries, revealing key insights into this dynamic relationship.

A website, much like the nucleus of a cell, forms the crux of this complex tableau, defining, structuring, and fundamentally giving essence to our online identity. This isn't an analogy drawn frivolously; rather, it draws deep parallels with the magnificent designs of life. The nucleus is the cell's center, and it is filled with DNA blueprints that direct its function and purpose. A website is a meticulously curated digital fulcrum of our virtual existence, broadcasting our passions, capabilities, and contributions in a complex lattice of text, graphics, and links with code. On a website, we communicate who we are and what we do, shaping how the digital world perceives and interacts with us. Therefore, crafting this digital nucleus becomes an act of expression, blending the precision of science with the depth of art as we craft a coherent, authentic, and engaging narrative of our identity in the vast virtual cosmos.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOAbTF0XZZXaDjehkClR461idSUP57IV9TIQOiSEWxdMFgqw7UBJCGvEKV1nQ_IGIMOj5kL-jtUUQvehrurDA1oPoUHkBj8IwflNqXxwmCnqnvokpQWq2W9y3_Lv4QVeUp8cMC16y59nvGQC7U5Uw3XQt0wLYR2oYuVgwTD5wl-ItbDV5tXZJW7V60Q/s1350/C_Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Chicago%20Painting.remini-enhanced.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="This is an acrylic painting by artist Dawn Hunter of two dancers doing the tango in a cell body." border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1350" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOAbTF0XZZXaDjehkClR461idSUP57IV9TIQOiSEWxdMFgqw7UBJCGvEKV1nQ_IGIMOj5kL-jtUUQvehrurDA1oPoUHkBj8IwflNqXxwmCnqnvokpQWq2W9y3_Lv4QVeUp8cMC16y59nvGQC7U5Uw3XQt0wLYR2oYuVgwTD5wl-ItbDV5tXZJW7V60Q/w640-h426/C_Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Chicago%20Painting.remini-enhanced.jpg" title="Cell Block Tango Embrace" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="-webkit-standard" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #783f04; font-family: Raleway; letter-spacing: 0.7605px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Dawn Hunter,<i> Cell Block Tango Embrace,</i> board, 12" x 17.5"</span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="-webkit-standard" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 0px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div><p>The sanctity of our online nucleus, our website, is non-negotiable. Just as a biological cell enforces a membrane barrier against invading pathogens, the integrity of a website's domain needs safeguarding against digital marauders. These agents of chaos, armed with malevolent intent, seek to infiltrate our digital identities, corrupt our narratives, and compromise the authenticity of our self-expression. Thus, prioritizing domain protection is akin to maintaining the cellular health in a biological context. Ensuring robust security protocols, utilizing cutting-edge encryption, and regularly updating safeguards not only preserves our artistic or scientific endeavor in the virtual realm, it also guarantees the trust of those who interact with our domain. Much like an art historian would painstakingly preserve a masterpiece, or a biologist would protect a specimen, we must similarly guard our digital presence from degradation and corruption. The fortress we build around our online nucleus thus becomes a testament to our commitment to digital security, the preservation of our identity, and the respect for the spaces we inhabit and share in the digital universe.</p><p>As we navigate the nuanced landscape of digital presence, it's essential to understand the interplay between domain ownership and website hosting—two fundamental elements that, while closely intertwined, serve distinct functions. This distinction is akin to the difference between owning a precious artwork and having a secure gallery to display it. Domain ownership is your claim on a unique address on the web, your 'digital real estate,' if you will. It's the URL that directs users to your piece of the internet, much like the title of a painting guides art enthusiasts to a specific work. Website hosting, on the other hand, is akin to the gallery space where the artwork resides. It's a service that provides the infrastructure needed to display your website - the content, images, and features - on the internet. The domain brings your audience to your door, but it's the hosting that allows them to interact with everything inside. Both are indispensable in shaping and presenting your online identity, requiring strategic investment and judicious management for an engaging and secure online presence.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3klwzbPt6Jnu-FstYEKC3S05L--UcJ8ScqGlGduenpcR5_A_FrOAHu_eErf_iW8uD_xVX9CM6lqEt1duqvuQQJSJVhGTGNLvJPY5hrcdeVy9pyAPpELpx9i3nOk_0x8UkaOecA65_8zQQ2b1jV4KbcOLpv6tHSqGPWF_0qjo7SVCC3EPr2ymtCMoQ2Q/s1024/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Ayerbe%20Landscape%20Study_Cajal_Spaine.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="This is a landscape study of Ayerbe, Spain." border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3klwzbPt6Jnu-FstYEKC3S05L--UcJ8ScqGlGduenpcR5_A_FrOAHu_eErf_iW8uD_xVX9CM6lqEt1duqvuQQJSJVhGTGNLvJPY5hrcdeVy9pyAPpELpx9i3nOk_0x8UkaOecA65_8zQQ2b1jV4KbcOLpv6tHSqGPWF_0qjo7SVCC3EPr2ymtCMoQ2Q/w640-h640/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Ayerbe%20Landscape%20Study_Cajal_Spaine.jpeg" title="Cajal Landscape" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-small;">Dawn Hunter, <i>Landscape ideation sketch of Ayerbe, Spain, </i>12" x 12"</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>In the evolving digital landscape, the tactics employed by hackers have transformed into an intricate dance of deception, impersonation, and technical prowess. Their techniques echo the sophisticated forgeries of the art world, and just as the untrained eye may be fooled by a counterfeit, even the most seasoned online denizens can fall prey to such exploits. Recent developments have seen hackers impersonating reputable domain ownership and website hosting platforms, producing convincingly disguised emails to lure unsuspecting users into divulging sensitive information. This constitutes a form of phishing, where these digital miscreants masquerade as trusted entities, exploiting our reliance on these platforms and threatening the sovereignty of our digital nuclei. The deception is so intricate, the mimicry so convincing, that it lures the unwary into a dangerous game of trust, placing not just our personal data, but the very ownership of our online domains at risk. This digital art of deception, much like the craft of a master forger, is targeted towards creating opportunities for theft, underscoring the necessity of constant vigilance and fortified safeguards in our interactions with the digital world.</p><p>Should you find yourself ensnared in such an unscrupulous situation, it's essential to recall several key principles to safeguard your digital fortress. Firstly, remember that legitimate platforms hosting your domain or website will never request sensitive information pertaining to domain ownership via email. Their integrity is akin to that of a respected museum, preserving, not violating, your trust. </p><p>Secondly, if you own a premium website, like, for example, <a href="http://www.dawnhunter.com" target="_blank">www.dawnhunter.com</a>, no authentic platform will ever propose to auction off your domain, or cite its premium status as a reason list it in order to gain valuation insight on another platform. It's your masterpiece; they're simply the custodians.</p><p>Thirdly, it's imperative never to respond to or click on links within suspicious emails. Much like you wouldn't touch a fragile artifact in a museum without gloves, interacting with phishing emails can lead to irreversible damage. If you receive an email that looks authentic but raises suspicion, directly contact the supposed sender, such as your domain hosting or parking service, to verify its legitimacy. Never underestimate the power of double-checking, just as an art historian would verify a work's provenance.</p><p>Always ensure your domain remains locked, acting as the robust security system that protects valuable artworks in a gallery. If you observe dubious activity, it's not only permissible but encouraged to report such instances to ICANN or your local authorities. Like alerting museum security to potential threats, this proactive step can help maintain the security of the broader digital landscape, preserving the sanctity of our collective online expression.</p><p>In conclusion, our journey through the intersections of digital domain ownership, website hosting, and cybersecurity echoes the intricate choreography of <a href="https://www.dawnhuntergallery.com/the-dance-a-cell-block-tango-biological" rel="" target="_blank"><b><i>The Dance: A Cell Block Tango Biological Pun,</i></b></a> my recent artistic endeavor. This series, features figures emerging in the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm, and the inclusion of a painting from this series (along with a composition <a href="https://www.southcarolinasunshine.com/cajal-scientific-drawings-and-landscapes.html" rel="" target="_blank">ideation landscape</a>) in this article symbolizes the delicate balance we must maintain in crafting, curating, and safeguarding our digital identities. Like the dance of the cell, our online existence is a continuous ballet of expression, interaction, and vigilance. Our website—the nucleus of our online identity—demands the same respect, care, and protection as a cell in preserving life's vitality. It's essential to remain mindful of our potential challenges, understand the art of deception in the digital landscape, and equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools to protect our precious digital domains. In the end, our online presence is a canvas upon which we paint our intellectual, emotional, and creative identities; a masterpiece worth safeguarding with as much fervor as any priceless art or groundbreaking scientific discovery.</p><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comColumbia, SC 29208, USA33.9937575 -81.02991865.6835236638211555 -116.1861686 62.303991336178846 -45.8736686tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600178827940883609.post-51154719007808783932023-04-25T11:47:00.009-07:002023-07-27T21:33:23.779-07:00In Line with Nature Juxtaposition: A Mixed Media Drawing Adventure with Line, Shape, and Texture - Inspired by Cajal's Observations<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the renowned Spanish neuroscientist, created an extraordinary body of work that showcased his unique ability to observe and record the intricate details of nature through drawing. Instead of approaching his drawings from a designer's perspective, Cajal relied on perceptual observation to uncover the inherent design of nature. His drawings served as a tool to observe, discern, and recount microanatomy structure, capturing the essence of nature's complexities with actual lines and implied space. Cajal's artistic philosophy centered around the belief that he was at the service of nature – recording and reporting the truthfulness of sight's journey.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Inspired by Cajal's attention to detail and descriptive lines, this blog post will explore an exciting mixed-media drawing assignment that encourages artists to closely observe and capture nature's beauty through line, shape, and texture. We'll explore the role of line variation and texture in adding visual dynamism and the importance of capturing the inherent "movement" or "gesture" of your chosen object. So, let's embark on this artistic journey together and uncover the truthfulness of sight's journey, just as Cajal did.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #0e101a; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrNoPSHCoW-EWFoyyeG4oN13nKCNtplCNhXzrmOSSMyNk_Mcht6p52LFo-FmhGTx2XtnfbA7ydRAVAJIoDv946BG_c9lPUFxf_bP2Yr-YkH_cOxbraS5jnCdLJHWHYDgIsQEM4TCKWoZHddIfofVQDO1GB4nm3s6R6ne3jF9d8IjSPkHjSsqvGysVXjQ/s2871/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Cajal%20Drawings.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfq6e9YjBD4ILRJO8IrVqBkc9KSStux54RvNnYTyjhRvQmAI1aXx60jSSG20YuCDY0ZpgSW_gF5Ei2_X0jv1ZGViYOboutUvIKUYFiHB2h57afMRWKmbdJwswV2I-B1GbCvFKc5Ajij5N3McHsdgrH-16cwA9W2tgrMcu_eRbyVr44dlTao15ndWinXg/s2871/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Cajal%20Drawings.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Artist Dawn Hunter's study of Cajal's scientific drawing at the Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain." border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="2871" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfq6e9YjBD4ILRJO8IrVqBkc9KSStux54RvNnYTyjhRvQmAI1aXx60jSSG20YuCDY0ZpgSW_gF5Ei2_X0jv1ZGViYOboutUvIKUYFiHB2h57afMRWKmbdJwswV2I-B1GbCvFKc5Ajij5N3McHsdgrH-16cwA9W2tgrMcu_eRbyVr44dlTao15ndWinXg/w320-h268/Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Cajal%20Drawings.jpg" title="Dawn Hunter's illustration of Cajal's original scientific drawing." width="320" /></a></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Introduction</strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </span></h4><p></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Nature has always been a source of inspiration for artists.

This technique will enhance the illusion of texture, adding depth and descriptiveness to your composition. Reflect on how line variation and texture contribute to visual dynamism in your artwork.</span></li><li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Capturing Gesture and Movement: Think about the dominant "gesture" or "movement" inherent in your found object – if it were moving with velocity in a particular direction, which way would that be? Consider the factors that created this movement, such as the growth of a branch or the impact of wind. Contemplate the effects of enhancing this movement with texture and line direction to create a more engaging and visually striking piece.</span></li></ol><div><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The event commences with the inauguration of the exhibition <i>1903 - Viaggio in Italia, </i>showcasing the artistic side of Cajal through a captivating collection of photographs from his Italian sojourn. The following day, visitors will be welcomed to the birthplace of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, where a commemorative plaque will be unveiled, and the title of Favorite Son of the Villa will be posthumously bestowed upon him. This two day event will culminate in an extraordinary municipal plenary session, where the mayors of both towns will sign the twinning agreement, formalizing their commitment to preserving these scientific giants' heritage. Celebrating this historic moment intertwines the legacies of Ramón y Cajal and Golgi and experiences the inspiring fusion of science, art, and community.

I have often conceptualized Cajal's biography from a surreal perspective within my project <i><a href="https://www.dawnhunterart.com/" rel="" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white;">Aesthetic Instincts: the </span><span style="background-color: white;">Intersection of Art and Science</span></a></i><span style="background-color: white;"><i><a href="https://www.dawnhunterart.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> in the life of Santiago Ramón y Cajal.</a> </i>Plus, d</span>uring visits to Cajal's birthplace, I am often compelled to create Plein air paintings that encapsulate the town's natural allure. These pieces and additional works are featured in my latest monograph, <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3T4msIz" rel="" target="_blank">Cajal's Canopy of Trees.</a></i></span></p><p><span style="color: #0f1419;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Above is my artwork, <i>Cajal and Golgi,</i> - a vivid portrayal of the esteemed scientists on horseback, enveloped by a lush, verdant landscape. At the heart of this imaginative composition lies Cajal's emblematic drawing, reflecting the intriguing contrast between their theories about the brain's anatomy.

Life has its poetry.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0e101a;">As an artist, safeguarding my brand and intellectual property is essential; obtaining a registered trademark is the key to achieving that. Applying for and obtaining a trademark can be quite intricate and lengthy, but the legal protection it provides is definitely worth the effort. I hired an attorney to make sure everything went smoothly.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0e101a;">If you're considering registering a trademark, whether you're planning to do it independently or with legal assistance, I've put together some helpful information below to help guide you.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0e101a;">Having a common name has posed challenges in protecting my artistic identity. I have experienced hurdles with Artificial Intelligence search algorithm errors and sometimes others taking credit for my work or falsely representing themselves as me, i.e. combining my credentials with their own or not correcting misattribution. These incidents have highlighted the importance of protecting my artistic identity through intellectual property measures such as registered copyrights and trademarks. By taking legal steps to secure my brand, I can prevent others from using my name or brand without permission and potentially damaging my reputation or career.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb4B1fglZLRDdpFU7x9-ItXbyuRF5I8yWkA_flsNMVzIulO066aA-lbz-fmqAvV7FQ6xlVwRXkQMXYAqisnqpLrvJR4e2T44-9wi6QFr1y--M5WiQkD74eDAQMEqk3I3taf2fCHqa1APX4JWCjaYkwGvtAX4zX0SgxoqbH7KehKyAzLIOXIQymS5PnRw/s2048/14_Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Cajal_Drawing_Retina_6_10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1592" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb4B1fglZLRDdpFU7x9-ItXbyuRF5I8yWkA_flsNMVzIulO066aA-lbz-fmqAvV7FQ6xlVwRXkQMXYAqisnqpLrvJR4e2T44-9wi6QFr1y--M5WiQkD74eDAQMEqk3I3taf2fCHqa1APX4JWCjaYkwGvtAX4zX0SgxoqbH7KehKyAzLIOXIQymS5PnRw/w498-h640/14_Dawn%20Hunter%20Artist_Cajal_Drawing_Retina_6_10.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Dawn Hunter's academic study of Cajal's retina drawing, marker and pen on paper.</span></div></span></div><span><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span></h4><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Types of Trademarks</span></h4><div style="color: #0e101a;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0e101a;">A trademark is a distinct name, symbol, phrase, design, or other characteristics that set a product or service apart. When you secure a trademark, you obtain sole rights to associate the mark with your offerings, and it prevents others from using a comparable mark that might cause confusion or dilute your mark's worth.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0e101a;">The scope of a trademark depends on the nature of the mark itself and the goods or services it relates to, or it might protect a specific brand name tied to a product or a symbol linked to a company or group. A trademark could involve unique designs or color patterns in packaging or advertisements.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0e101a;">For those in the creative field, owning a registered trademark is vital for keeping their brand safe and stopping others from using their name, emblem, or other unique marks without permission. There are many reasons why artists need to consider registering their trademarks:</span></div></span><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Brand awareness:</u> A trademark plays a crucial role in establishing your brand's presence in the market, making it simpler for people to recognize your work and associate it with your products or services.</span></li><li><u style="color: #0e101a;">Legal safeguard: </u><span style="color: #0e101a;">Securing a trademark registration offers you legal protection and the privilege to utilize the mark in commerce. This serves as a foundation for pursuing legal recourse against anyone who may try to exploit your mark without authorization or violate your intellectual property rights.</span></li><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Opportunities for licensing:</u> Holding a registered trademark paves the way for striking licensing agreements and forming collaborations with fellow artists, companies, or organizations eager to harness your brand for their own ventures.</span></li><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Reputation defense: </u>Registering your trademark also aids in preserving your reputation by stopping others from using your name or mark in ways that could harm your brand or create confusion in the market.</span></li></ul><div><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUSecZkwP7YumT_Vb85yj7V-INV2O7dG2_ZlTsQJwKC3oFdEedtwwT-69nxWDFJyGLnXctJXBLwrIFHWQwKFDOismmBsPSOrTYeY4yLrzFVukIP3BQXnr7NiQz43rx_xLHR0L1vYebhNKPMLKs0K9zqtABMb2qJjZpqSZMueqUOHFUq3EiI7s7wZ8ykw/s1210/Dawn%20Hunter%20Art_Logo%20Image%20for%20Blog%20Post.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="This is an image of Dawn Hunter's registered trademark logo" border="0" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="1210" height="73" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUSecZkwP7YumT_Vb85yj7V-INV2O7dG2_ZlTsQJwKC3oFdEedtwwT-69nxWDFJyGLnXctJXBLwrIFHWQwKFDOismmBsPSOrTYeY4yLrzFVukIP3BQXnr7NiQz43rx_xLHR0L1vYebhNKPMLKs0K9zqtABMb2qJjZpqSZMueqUOHFUq3EiI7s7wZ8ykw/w400-h73/Dawn%20Hunter%20Art_Logo%20Image%20for%20Blog%20Post.jpg" title="Dawn Hunter Art ®" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Above, Dawn Hunter's registered logo, and below, Dawn Hunter's registered word mark.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">DAWN HUNTER ART ®</span></div><br /><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #0e101a;">People can choose from an array of trademark options tailored to their unique business requirements and the kind of trademark they aim to secure. Keep in mind that certain trademarks may fall under more than one category.. For instance, a combination mark might consist of both a word mark and a design mark. In my experience, I registered <b>Dawn Hunter Art®</b> as both a word mark and a design mark, necessitating two separate applications, each with its own unique registration number.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0e101a;">Below is a list of some frequently encountered trademark types:</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Word Mark:</u> This trademark type is solely composed of text, such as a company name, slogan, or product name.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Design Mark: </u>Consisting of a logo, image, or other visual design, this trademark type often works in tandem with a word mark to create a brand logo.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Combination Mark:</u> This trademark type merges text and design elements, commonly used to develop a distinctive brand logo that includes both the company name and a visual component.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Service Mark:</u> Protecting a service rather than a tangible product, this trademark type serves to identify and differentiate the source of a service in the market.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Collective Mark:</u> Utilized by groups or organizations to identify their members or affiliates, this trademark type is popular among trade organizations and professional associations.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Certification Mark:</u> This trademark type certifies that a product or service adheres to specific standards or quality levels, frequently seen in industries such as food or organic products.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e101a;"><u>Sound Mark:</u> Comprising a unique sound or musical jingle, this trademark type identifies a product or service and is often employed in radio or television advertisements.</span></li></ul><p></p><div><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGyqAkjgiUU9r5rFh2jHf60wRqkhnRQreS9D2h63Hb5z74P0q9KQLu44w290PtTHm_1r4IQvFqe05ev8y2LKJFJvdnlnkEMY3uor9Dw51M5_JGbzHXD85e0TY5UqKqQ5Oe7jY9tqGyd1fHj9uCSoTeVrAn_260ZjmOHu6UBZRo4t-ay1gF3JWAMaJsFg/s2802/New%20Book%20Page.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1122" data-original-width="2802" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGyqAkjgiUU9r5rFh2jHf60wRqkhnRQreS9D2h63Hb5z74P0q9KQLu44w290PtTHm_1r4IQvFqe05ev8y2LKJFJvdnlnkEMY3uor9Dw51M5_JGbzHXD85e0TY5UqKqQ5Oe7jY9tqGyd1fHj9uCSoTeVrAn_260ZjmOHu6UBZRo4t-ay1gF3JWAMaJsFg/w640-h256/New%20Book%20Page.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-small;">Above, Dawn Hunter's portrait of <span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Santiago Ramón y Cajal</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> in pyramidal neurons, marker, pen and ink on paper.</span></span></div><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span></span></h4><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Trademark Process</span></h4><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Selecting the appropriate trademark to suit your specific requirements and offer optimal protection for your brand is essential. For instance, my trademark goes beyond my artwork's visual appearance or style, encompassing the educational aspects and the unique research I have conducted on long-term projects, such as my series and Fulbright research on Santiago Ramón y Cajal or my sabbatical project, Personified Doubles and Complementary Opposites.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">In my opinion, it's crucial to collaborate with a seasoned trademark attorney to guarantee proper registration of your trademark and assist in safeguarding your intellectual property rights over time.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The trademark application process can be somewhat intricate, but it typically involves these steps:</span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><u>Conduct a trademark search:</u> Prior to applying for trademark registration, it's vital to conduct a comprehensive search of existing trademarks to ensure that your proposed trademark isn't already in use by another brand. This helps you avoid potential conflicts or legal issues later on.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><u>Prepare and submit the application:</u> After verifying that your trademark is available, you need to prepare and submit a trademark application to the relevant government agency. In the United States, this is usually the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The application should include details about your trademark, such as the mark itself, the goods or services it represents, and the mark's owner.</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><u>Wait for the application review:</u> Once your trademark application is filed, a trademark examiner, who is an attorney employed by the USPTO, will be assigned to review it and ensure it meets all registration requirements. This review process can take several months, depending on the queue and the complexity of your application.</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><u>Respond to any office actions:</u> If the trademark examiner has concerns or questions about your application, they may issue an office action requesting additional information or revisions. It's important to respond promptly to these office actions to maintain your application's progress.</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><u>Obtain approval and registration:</u> When a trademark application is approved by a USPTO examining attorney, it is published in the Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This publication informs the public of your trademark application, allowing those with objections or oppositions to raise concerns due to conflicts with their marks. If concerns emerge, a legal proceeding takes place before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), an administrative tribunal within the USPTO. The TTAB evaluates the opposition and determines whether to permit the trademark registration or deny it based on the opposition.

Don't let apprehension about the unknown or the perceived hassle of the application process deter you from shielding your creations. With the legal protection that trademark registration affords, you can rest easy knowing that your dedication and skills are well protected.

This modernist masterpiece is renowned for its inventive language and for depicting its main character's psychological and ethical growth.</p><p>From this literary work, mature creatives can glean that the metamorphosis into an artist encompasses a voyage of self-exploration and self-fashioning.</p><p>Attaining contentment and ease within oneself at any life stage is vital to one's overall wellness and can contribute to a more gratifying, purposeful existence.</p><p>Life is full of highs, lows, and transitional periods; however, it is crucial to remember that age remains a mere numeral and that it is never too late to chase your aspirations and objectives. Numerous people find a renewed sense of direction and focus as they age and view aging as an opportunity for reinvention and to make positive life changes. Often people will choose to prioritize their personal development and joy. </p><p>Remember that there's no "right way" to be a fabulous 50-something (or any age, for that matter). It's so important to appreciate our own unique qualities, talents, and passions. If you're feeling excited about this chapter in life like I am, that's amazing!

I've always pursued a creative path; each day spent in my studio feels timeless. This creative space fosters a connection between various moments and locations throughout my life, all within the artistic process. Additionally, I teach first-year college students who are full of energy, creativity, and innovation. These young individuals inspire and graciously invited me into their lives through our shared artistic pursuits.</p><p>A hurdle that older female artists might encounter is ageism, which is discrimination based on age. This can manifest in various ways, such as being overlooked for opportunities or being treated differently due to one's age.</p><p>Another obstacle older female artists may face is inadequate representation and support for their work. It is not unusual for them to feel as if their artwork doesn't receive the same level of attention or acknowledgment compared to their younger peers.</p><p>Yet, despite these obstacles, numerous older female artists remain committed to producing and showcasing their art. They may discover support and fellowship within artistic circles and could even find that their age and life experiences provide them with a distinct viewpoint and expression in their craft.

Prompts are usually keywords, which can be anything from a single word to a sentence. I have a couple of favorites that I follow and participate in during the month of October; <b><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Facetober</span></i></b> and <i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Peachtober</span></b></i>. During 2021, I created the <i><b><a href="https://www.southcarolinasunshine.com/the-darcy-inventory-entire-series.html" rel="" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Darcy Inventory</span></a></b></i> based on the <i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Facetober</span></b></i> prompts and that series has gone on to be included in professional art exhibitions, like <span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.artfieldssc.org/" rel="" target="_blank"><i><b>ArtFields</b></i></a>.</span></p><p>The <i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Facetober</span></b></i> challenge is created by a <span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.skillshare.com/en/profile/Charly-Clements/5168042" rel="" target="_blank"><b>Skillshare</b></a> </span>top teacher, British designer and illustrator <a href="https://www.charlyclements.com/" rel="" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Charly Clements</b>.</span></a> The prompts Charly creates helps people find new ways of self-expression through short-form portraits.

This gives artists plenty of lead time to gather their materials, think through the concepts, plan their work, and create artworks before the challenge starts. </p><p>Making your artwork ahead of time is crucial because it grants you the opportunity to copyright your artwork in batches, which is cheaper than copyrighting a single artwork ($65.00 per single work registration vs. $65.00 per group registration). </p><p>Original artwork posted on social media is a very popular form of expression, however before posting your artwork online, you should always make sure that you have copyright protection. Filing a copyright registration prior to publication also entitles you to a greater award sum for damages if an infringement occurs. </p><p>It might sound complicated, it is much simpler than you think. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFfEB9DK3Q_TBct_565M33y8RWYLpKTSvugFL5f2Z_6gg-7NWYkr1MS7kOIDB6qCm1yjmQcMUs9IHPk-XItAF4sdvahzvPsCTVGzxXd_hmlfZtGxw5QvSLBXo7oIxsrRa4jvwUwmCBtKQWxMpzJnFcuZTDsmVbhzRVyCXAXdoDE17VK2NcPhzpK7a4A/s2400/A_Dawn%20Hunter_Darcy%20Inventory_Animal%20Print.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="1737" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFfEB9DK3Q_TBct_565M33y8RWYLpKTSvugFL5f2Z_6gg-7NWYkr1MS7kOIDB6qCm1yjmQcMUs9IHPk-XItAF4sdvahzvPsCTVGzxXd_hmlfZtGxw5QvSLBXo7oIxsrRa4jvwUwmCBtKQWxMpzJnFcuZTDsmVbhzRVyCXAXdoDE17VK2NcPhzpK7a4A/w464-h640/A_Dawn%20Hunter_Darcy%20Inventory_Animal%20Print.jpg" width="464" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-small;">Above, Facetober 2022 day 2 (afro, pink and animal print) by Dawn Hunter, watercolor, ink and acrylic on paper.</span></div><p><br /></p><h3 style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="font-family: georgia; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">What is Copyright?</span></h3><div><br /></div><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">"Copyright is a form of protection for the rights of creators of works.

You might wonder if there's a way to copyright your artwork in groups of up to ten works at once. Good news! It's totally doable and pretty simple. </p><p>Here's the catch: for works of art to be eligible, your artwork shouldn't have been published prior to your registration application. </p><p>Review and follow the steps below, and your work will be protected at a cost-efficient price.</p><p>1. Create an eCO account. </p><p>Protecting your intellectual property is important for professional success. Remember to procure copyrights and trademarks for all of your art, products, services, and branding. Protecting intellectual property with copyrights and trademarks can be time-consuming, but it's worth it. The US Copyright Office website provides excellent resources for individuals: <a href="http://www.copyright.gov" rel="" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>www.copyright.gov</b></span></a>.</p><p>2. Select "Register a Group of Unpublished Works." </p><p>You can make the process easier by copyrighting your artwork in batches of up to ten works. For a social media challenge like, <i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Facetober</span></b></i>, I would recommend to register each week as a batch, especially since the prompts are organized in that manner. That would be a total of four batches and the total cost would be $260.00. If you were to registered all thirty-one works individually, the total cost would be $2,015.00.</p><p>You'll need the work's title, the year it was created, and the copyright owner. The US Copyright Office will assign you a number once you've filed your application.</p><p>3. Complete the online form prompts:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Type of Work</li><li>Title of Work</li><li>Completion</li><li>Authors/Claimants</li><li>Limitation of Claim</li><li>Rights and Permissions</li><li>Correspondent</li><li>Mail Certificate</li><li>Special Handling</li><li>Certification</li><li>Review Submission</li></ul><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_4jq0MSA3Q-oQ6VXf-T-kAko_S0NGYPt_cGK0bWglEv-OqDDKC6g4PogrEUqGD8oriNms1yEbMDvjSLtZiCRxb2jmma2SIpeakgZhosM3GAk7Hw7QdBL258dvS2P3W70AHPm0sC4pDSjVHkgtjqb8gjp6aK6XlKqwjItabjm_LApGsZCd_eDX8hKxnA/s2726/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-11%20at%207.45.06%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1246" data-original-width="2726" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_4jq0MSA3Q-oQ6VXf-T-kAko_S0NGYPt_cGK0bWglEv-OqDDKC6g4PogrEUqGD8oriNms1yEbMDvjSLtZiCRxb2jmma2SIpeakgZhosM3GAk7Hw7QdBL258dvS2P3W70AHPm0sC4pDSjVHkgtjqb8gjp6aK6XlKqwjItabjm_LApGsZCd_eDX8hKxnA/w400-h183/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-11%20at%207.45.06%20PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>4.

His father was a doctor, and Cajal grew up interested in science. He went to medical school, but he also studied biology and physics. He studied the brain using histological staining methods, microscopes, micrographs, and drawing. He discovered how different parts of the brain work. Cajal was also a great teacher and helped train many scientists who would go on to make significant contributions to neuroscience, like </span><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Fernando-de-Castro-1896-1967-The-picture-was-taken-in-1967-Courtesy-of_fig1_262611276" rel="" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Fernando De Castro</a><span style="text-align: left;"> (arterial chemoreceptors), </span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4253658/" rel="" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Rafael Lorente de Nó</a><span style="text-align: left;"> (audio-vestibular nuclei and system), and </span><a href="https://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n85823000/" rel="" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">E. Horne Craigie</a><span style="text-align: left;"> (zoologist and author).</span></p></div><p>Along with Camillo Golgi, Cajal won the <a href="https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1906/cajal/biographical/" rel="" target="_blank">Nobel Prize</a> for his work in 1906.</p><p>He did his seminal work in the late 1800s and early 1900s. He is known for problem-solving and innovation, like altering and improving the Golgi Black Reaction stain, which allowed him to visualize the nervous system in unprecedented detail. His discoveries continue to be the basis for our understanding of the brain.</p><div>One of Cajal's most important contributions was his development of the Neuron Doctrine. This theory states that the nervous system comprises individual cells called neurons. Santiago Ramón y Cajal's work on the neuron doctrine helped establish neuroscience as its scientific discipline.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Cajal, was an absolute genius, he has left a profound impact on neuroscience. He was the trailblazer for the neuron doctrine; his work was like this beacon, guiding our understanding of the brain's mysterious labyrinth. Cajal is just this pivotal force in neuroscience history. Even now, scientists and artists can't help but study and admire the incredible things he's discovered and are mesmerized by the beauty of his drawings.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's wild to think about how much Cajal's work has shaped the field of neuroscience! His brilliant investigation into the nervous system's anatomy? A total game-changer. It's like he took a paintbrush and reimagined the canvas of our understanding. Because of him, neuroscience became its unique masterpiece, and he paved the way for many discoveries we're still making today. Even modern neuroscientists continue to reference his work, ensuring his legacy lives on for generations.</div><div><br /></div><div>Cajal's discoveries about the brain's structure and function are like these vibrant colors, leaving a lasting impression on the field. And we're still diving into his work today, using it to make headway in figuring out neurological disorders. It's honestly so inspiring. Cajal's work is like this beautiful testament to the power of science, and it shows how vital curiosity and creativity are when we're chasing after our research.</div></div><h4><br /></h4><h4>Conclusion</h4><p>I have enjoyed making artwork about Cajal's life and histology research. I am honored to have my work receive an Honorable Mention Award in the Art of Neuroscience competition and delighted that it was featured in Scientific American.

You've got that snazzy studio space to create your masterpieces, but it can feel lonely sometimes. I can't stress enough how crucial it is to have a mentor in your college art studio. They're like a lighthouse in a stormy sea of creativity! </p><p>Mentors, they're like these magical beings who guide you, give feedback on your work and help you network with other artsy folks. The hallmark of a good mentor is excellent listening skills balanced with professional experience and generosity. Having someone committed to providing quality and consistent feedback nurtures your creative present and future. </p><p>Let me tell you where to start if you're looking for a mentor.</p><p>First up, your professor; if there's a professor you genuinely admire and who knows their stuff about your preferred art form, they might be the mentor of your dreams! Ask if they can spare some time regularly to chat about your work and offer their insights.</p><p>Next is the college art gallery; those gallery staff members are usually eager to gab about art with students. If there's an artist or style you're really into, ask a staff member if they can point you toward a potential mentor. </p><p>And remember local artists! Your town or city is probably teeming with artists who'd be thrilled to mentor a budding college student. Check out local galleries and studios, and don't be shy—say hello to and regularly interact with the artists of your community. Having a mentor in your college art studio can be transformative for you creatively but also set you on a productive career path. So, reach out and ask for help! </p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My Mentors</span></h4><p>During my college years at the Kansas City Art Institute, I was never shy about reaching out to professors. I was lucky in college, I had two great mentors who shaped my artistic practice profoundly: Wilbur Niewald and Shirley Luke Schnell.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Wilbur Niewald</span></h3><p><a href="https://www.wilburniewald.com/" rel="" target="_blank">Wilbur Niewald</a> died this past spring at the age of 97. He live his entire life in Kansas City, and no one has painted the city as frequently as he did. His Plein air works could rightfully be called love letters to the city.</p><p>Wilbur earned bachelor and master degrees from the <a href="https://kcai.edu/" rel="" target="_blank">Kansas City Art Institute</a>. He was a member of the painting faculty for 43 years, chaired the painting department from 1958 to 1985, and was a respected and well known painter throughout the United States. </p><p>In 1992, he retired. He remained devoted to his artistic practice and he spent hours each day, often six days a week, painting outdoors in Loose Park or the West Bottoms or in his studio during his retirement.</p><p>One of the things I liked to do when visiting Kansas City in the summer was to visit him while he was creating his Plein air artworks. I would find him passionately painting away at his easel near the tennis courts at Loose Park in Kansas City, Missouri, wearing his well-known attire: a straw hat, denim shirt, and blue jeans.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9JJCxbZu50qIkjTRyBCcileMfBKk5HXkq5Biogm4rbRlXl0oPp4Csw9NBcTcCDiuhy_2wqHeRceAJ3y7BwjSHp3GTYZgI47Yze0D1GNElrHTJyGrWudZkO2_GNb7GY2SagivOVoWouqpydqTLpFDT7WO1u-hVHyK8V4nY-A1OleMLh2wIjcRxZN64A/s2048/Dawn%20Hunter_Wilbur%20Niewald%20ptg%20in%20Loose%20Park_2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1630" data-original-width="2048" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9JJCxbZu50qIkjTRyBCcileMfBKk5HXkq5Biogm4rbRlXl0oPp4Csw9NBcTcCDiuhy_2wqHeRceAJ3y7BwjSHp3GTYZgI47Yze0D1GNElrHTJyGrWudZkO2_GNb7GY2SagivOVoWouqpydqTLpFDT7WO1u-hVHyK8V4nY-A1OleMLh2wIjcRxZN64A/w400-h319/Dawn%20Hunter_Wilbur%20Niewald%20ptg%20in%20Loose%20Park_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Above, a drawing I completed of Wilbur Niewald while he was painting in Loose Park during one of my visits to Kansas City, marker and pen on paper, 11" x 14."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>I took Wilbur's drawing classes most semesters while I was in college. Every class was always the same, with one instruction: "Draw what you see." I found the experience meditative and relaxing, and I also developed a deep appreciation for working from observation.</p><p>Wilbur always took me seriously and respected me as an artist, which profoundly impacted me the most. I took myself seriously because of that. He understood my potential more than I did. As a sophomore, I had a conversation with him about switching my major from Painting to Fibers. He made a compelling argument to other faculty and me in the program about why I should not switch my major. I stayed because he convinced me.</p><p>He drew and painted from direct observation beginning in the 1970s. It never mattered to him what the condition of weather was. Once when our drawing class was outside drawing the landscape in Plein air, it began to rain. Most students began packing up and heading back to the classroom, but Wilbur exclaimed, "Don't leave; this is great. Change your drawing as the situation changes." He only convinced four of us to stay.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0YHsi6IIGoPozYrIJdpRqhShDlZ3EbIWxOo4rgDf1aVxse2r-Pm3LY-mwMy1roNEtC6bnCzyFuYn_a65C4VVaLIBG5pnS9jzDw2eL9BeMou3Nk-qTv528pUdIKx_UxXGqRw_rLxCdhdU27gkpPcI-MGRsB-ob_MjOQGNgM2pgFVlQvbN4ji-QW9n_A/s2048/Dawn%20Hunter_Wilbur%20Niewald%20ptg%20in%20Loose%20Park.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1618" data-original-width="2048" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0YHsi6IIGoPozYrIJdpRqhShDlZ3EbIWxOo4rgDf1aVxse2r-Pm3LY-mwMy1roNEtC6bnCzyFuYn_a65C4VVaLIBG5pnS9jzDw2eL9BeMou3Nk-qTv528pUdIKx_UxXGqRw_rLxCdhdU27gkpPcI-MGRsB-ob_MjOQGNgM2pgFVlQvbN4ji-QW9n_A/w400-h316/Dawn%20Hunter_Wilbur%20Niewald%20ptg%20in%20Loose%20Park.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Above, a drawing I completed of Wilbur Niewald while he was painting in Loose Park during one of my visits to Kansas City, marker and pen on paper, 11" x 14."</span></div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Shirley Luke Schnell</span></h3><p>There's nothing quite like a quirky art professor to get students excited about creativity. Shirley Luke Schnell was one of those teachers. With her whimsical, soft-spoken voice and eccentric clothing, she always seemed to be on the verge of levitating above all of us in the Foundations studio. But somehow, she always managed to bring unique and memorable insight to the studio practice, and her students always seemed inspired and to learn a lot.</p><p>Even though she was different than anyone else you'd ever meet, her students connected with and loved her. They knew that she cared about them and that she wanted them to succeed. She was always pushing them to be their creative limits with the concepts of her assignments. This generated growth and new perspectives on what is or could be.</p><p>Shirley is a true original, and in the classroom, she was the perfect example of how being different can be a good thing. After Foundations, I reached out to her for critiques of my paintings and help with my graduate school applications. She was fully invested and took time during her weekends to help me write my application essays with clarity. I was fortunate to have her mentorship after college, too. We became close friends, and she has been present for the significant milestones of my life. Such as visiting me in London during my residency at the <a href="https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/" rel="" target="_blank">Royal Academy of Arts</a> and attending my wedding.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8uxUE-hTNGd07XlgCq637dtmpFajTalaEORBe1iKRbAaq1mA1OfLw-jU6WQY8CzlUa1e27V_gRbKuB9L4GyfMasspzICl1PTnnodmfRadM2ml-JjGwgjz6scvkrkO_3Vgcl2mQz5vkfdykvdjxphU-37LYVZ0WmSt0mAdfp3dq9jlw7b8kfiNatHynw/s1024/Sketches-5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8uxUE-hTNGd07XlgCq637dtmpFajTalaEORBe1iKRbAaq1mA1OfLw-jU6WQY8CzlUa1e27V_gRbKuB9L4GyfMasspzICl1PTnnodmfRadM2ml-JjGwgjz6scvkrkO_3Vgcl2mQz5vkfdykvdjxphU-37LYVZ0WmSt0mAdfp3dq9jlw7b8kfiNatHynw/w300-h400/Sketches-5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Above, a digital iPad drawing I created of Shirley during one of my visits to her home.</span></div><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h4><h4 style="text-align: left;">Embracing Change: The Journey with Alzheimer's</h4><p>As we grow older, it's not uncommon for memory to fade, impacting both ourselves and our dear ones. When it comes to Alzheimer's, this shift can be particularly tough on relationships. I remember my incredible mentor, Shirley, who was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's back in 2013. </p><p>Looking back, he signs were there even before her diagnosis—visible in her actions and words. Today, she's reached a non-verbal stage as the disease continues its progression. Though she's still with us, Alzheimer's has taken away so much. Let's cherish our memories and support those facing this journey.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">1. Understanding Alzheimer's: A Battle of the Mind </h3><p>Alzheimer's, one of the most common types of dementia, has touched the lives of over 5 million Americans. As a neurodegenerative disorder, it slowly erodes our memory and cognitive functions, making every day a struggle. Despite the efforts of researchers, the cause is unknown. Its cause is theorized to be a blend of genetic and environmental factors. The cure remains undiscovered.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">2. Recognizing the Signs: Encountering Alzheimer's Symptoms</h3><p>Living with Alzheimer's can be an incredibly personal and unique experience, as the symptoms manifest differently for everyone. Yet, some common threads bind these journeys: the challenges with memory, thinking, and communication and the shifts in mood and behavior. </p><p>Physical symptoms like trouble walking, dizziness, and appetite changes also make their presence known, adding to the daily battles faced by those with Alzheimer's.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">3. How does Alzheimer's disease affect relationships?</h3><p>Alzheimer's disease can be heart-wrenching, profoundly affecting our relationships with loved ones. Those with this condition might withdraw from socializing, struggle to recall names or faces, and even become disoriented or agitated. As friends and family, it's painfully difficult to watch someone we care for seemingly disappear from us.</p><p>But let's not forget that beneath the disease; their hearts are still capable of feeling love and affection.

The work highlights how any scientific process, particularly scientific image-making, can be influenced by a multilayering of cultural and historical factors. The jury admired how diverse periods in time from this historical perspective were weaved into one image, and appreciated the effort that went into investigating the sources that Cajal was exposed to. Dueling Cajals serves as an important reminder for neuroscientists to recognize history and its influence on their work.

They determined through their study which included 485 participants that digital technology and access to content through the internet was the main driving force. In their paper, they cited three published definitions of plagiarism: "Perrin, Larkham, and Culwin define plagiarism as the use of an author's words, ideas, reflections and thoughts without proper acknowledgment of the author. Koul et al. define plagiarism as a form of cheating and theft since in cases of plagiarism, one person takes credit for another person's intellectual work. According to Fishman, 'Plagiarism occurs when someone: 1) uses words, ideas, or work products; 2) attributable to another identifiable person or source; 3) without attributing the work to the source from which it was obtained; 4) in a situation in which there is a legitimate expectation of original authorship; 5) in order to obtain some benefit, credit, or gain which need not be monetary.'"</span></span></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: times; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: times;">We have examined several definitions of plagiarism from individuals and organizations within this post. Despite the form of original content format, e.g. PowerPoint, and the manifestation of the plagiarized content, e.g., book chapter, the consensus is if the content is an "intellectual work product" of another without proper attribution to the origin (whether written, spoken, performed or visual), it is plagiarism. While full of ideas, your PowerPoint is not simply "an idea." It manifests the development of ideas and is a completed work in the Audio and Visual format.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: times; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Contemporary audiences attending presentations are equipped with smartphone cameras, linked to the internet, and are sometimes actively engaged with social media platforms like Twitter. During or after a presentation, the content of professional PowerPoint presentations aren't confined to a conference or symposium audience. Novel and innovative ideas, images of original research, or unique conceptual content can be instantaneously shared, liked, and re-shared with thousands. This rapid-fire sharing can occur with or without the author's knowledge or consent and thus create research vulnerabilities. However, there are perks, too. Engagement in sharing content immediately with a broad and diverse audience can also be advantageous. Meaningful research connections can be made. Therefore, the potential for unexpected input through new collaborative relationships can foster a robust research outcome.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4C-eQBkyPXfEsjJYeQ-pTt76cVjesCz5E1snh-E7zi9GpRkq08oSqYSijNdelrAEn5e-dMKca07wjtZOGzInw1sNIop5tHAaYZuGvJaOFjfVarVjK8-iPtfpTddiB_k48W58Ase2GBfb3NxNcsCvmFiFHlp2HBjUpiebVJhGsRi7jUvTKjJXEK1MS=s1910" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1489" data-original-width="1910" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4C-eQBkyPXfEsjJYeQ-pTt76cVjesCz5E1snh-E7zi9GpRkq08oSqYSijNdelrAEn5e-dMKca07wjtZOGzInw1sNIop5tHAaYZuGvJaOFjfVarVjK8-iPtfpTddiB_k48W58Ase2GBfb3NxNcsCvmFiFHlp2HBjUpiebVJhGsRi7jUvTKjJXEK1MS=w640-h498" width="640" /></a></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: xx-small;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Above: Images from my presentation, </span><em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Content and Form: Cajal's Unique Visual Language, </em><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">September 29, 2017, at the National Congress of Spanish Neuroscience (SENC 2017.)

Other times, because they viewed it on the internet, people will erroneously mistake your academic scholarship as belonging to the public domain. That is unfortunate, but it is their responsibility to clarify the origin of content before using it. Therefore, taking steps to register for your presentation is a must. It will protect your research and define the source of unique concepts and content if your research makes its way into someone else's work without a proper citation.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Information and Steps to Copyright your presentation:</span></b></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;"><u style="text-align: left;">What does the copyright of your PowerPoint cover?</u><span style="text-align: left;"> Your content: your expression of ideas (organization, sequence, and context), scripted text that you have written that appears visually on the slide, scripted text you wrote but spoke during the presentation as it appears in your PowerPoint slide notes, and any original figures (jpegs., graphs, tables, etc.) you created for the presentation.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><u>What your PowerPoint or presentation copyright will not cover?</u> Photographs that are copyrighted by someone else or an organization, images that are in the public domain, or scripted text written by or copyrighted by another person, quotes or scripted text from the public domain, and figures where others hold the copyright or are from the public domain (jpegs., graphs, tables, etc.) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><u>How much does it cost?</u> $65.00</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBiF8KYiyynUVRl1_vbFBAsHAwtyXXP15e7mccbXz2BJGGTjT0tFIbO-l9b409YuEmhFxBQjGqNXUpHptGL0XsJxmT6yq1Wrztrvf2Gkg6qxTXr7OskAisAxzBA7EOG9zSKRXPobA4T-xR_XbjRCHbwyhYIZPufIl6guXeq2Uxbg9ghTv14p0XlXD6=s2826" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2008" data-original-width="2826" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBiF8KYiyynUVRl1_vbFBAsHAwtyXXP15e7mccbXz2BJGGTjT0tFIbO-l9b409YuEmhFxBQjGqNXUpHptGL0XsJxmT6yq1Wrztrvf2Gkg6qxTXr7OskAisAxzBA7EOG9zSKRXPobA4T-xR_XbjRCHbwyhYIZPufIl6guXeq2Uxbg9ghTv14p0XlXD6=w640-h454" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: xx-small;"><span>Above: Slide from </span><span style="color: #0e101a;"><span style="background-color: white;">from my presentation, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0e101a; white-space: break-spaces;"><i>Content and Form: Cajal's Unique Visual Language, </i></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0e101a;">September 29, 2017 at the National Congress of Spanish Neuroscience </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0e101a;">(SENC 2017.)

This past year I have become aware of a website called “Wall of Celebrities” because they have posted eighteen of my original artworks and associated those artworks with an actress by the same name. In fact, there are more images of my artwork or me with my artwork than there are of the actress or her performances. This misattribution is significant, it compromises the authority of my work while simultaneously creating market and brand identity confusion for prospective exhibitors and collectors of my art. </span></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Like anyone finding themselves in this predicament, I have notified the company of the erroneous attributions of artwork created by me but credited to another person.

I am also including a summary of their creation, links that verify the timeline history of the works and the professional exhibition history of those works.

Cajal, this historical and monumental figure in neuroscience, can reach out and expose his humanity through his work, writings, and drawings in a simple, profound, and relatable manner. He accomplishes this by describing his painful childhood experiences, his self-deprecating humor regarding his ego, and the generosity he expressed to his students. When he is the most vulnerable is through his drawings. Despite the scientific intention – his beating heart, personal vulnerability, and passion of mind are communicated through his drawings' line quality. This </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><u>ideographic</u> </em><span style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">expression is why so many of us recognize and perceive his drawings as art, and this quality is why his work continues to be discussed, emulated, and admired.</span></div><div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Cajal's first-person narrative in his biography,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"> </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Recuerdos de mi Vida,</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">makes one feel as though he is confiding exclusively in them over coffee at a cafe. He is transformed from the storyteller into the best friend of the favorite pupil. Through his written words from the encapsulated past, he springs alive into the present, becoming a privy partner in creative, intellectual, or objective quests. With humility and wisdom, like Siddhartha before him, he inspires the highest ideals of human capability in artistic expression and scientific research..</span></div><div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;"><span style="color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;"><span style="color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Some descendants of his disciples and family are fortunate individuals because they know him the best in many ways. Not as an ideal historical figure, but through those who were closest to Cajal. Their family and friends' real-life experiences interacting with him. Including stories that have been passed down through generations plus real "treasures," cherished, personal mementos from Cajal.</span></div><div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;"><span style="color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;"><span style="color: #555151; font-family: Raleway; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">It was distressing when I arrived in Madrid at the Instituto Cajal, to conduct my Fulbright research, to learn the Cajal family home in Atocha was being remodeled into condominiums. Cajal had a direct hand in the house's design and final construction, thus the renovation felt like a great loss of historical significance. Seeking comfort, I conceived of a project which entailed retracing Cajal's afternoon walks in Retiro Park, Atocha, and at La Residencia de Estudiantes. On the weekends, with my daughter in tow, we would sit at the entrance of the Cajal home and draw the cityscape from that vantage point. My goal, to find sites and trees at places that were in existence when Cajal was alive and immerse myself. Through viewing the environments that are layered with the past intertwining with present as much as possible I sought to see through his perspective some of his day-to-day routine, thus creating my own momentos of Cajal.</span></div></div><div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;"><div class="preview-element blocks-preview-body magic-circle-holder text-element quick-text-style-menu allow-mobile-hide" data-menu-name="BLOCKS_PREVIEW_BODY" id="element-d159399298c8e2a" style="background-color: white; color: #555151; column-count: 1; direction: ltr; display: inline-block; font-family: Raleway; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 10px 0px 0px; max-width: 600px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: none;"><span><div><div class="blocks-preview-body-holder removable-parent order-handle" style="color: black; display: inline-block; font-family: Times; max-width: 800px;"><div class="preview-element blocks-preview-body magic-circle-holder text-element quick-text-style-menu allow-mobile-hide" data-menu-name="BLOCKS_PREVIEW_BODY" id="element-6b41ec9619c4432" style="background-color: transparent; color: #555151; column-count: 1; direction: ltr; display: inline-block; font-family: Raleway; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 10px 0px 0px; max-width: 600px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: none;"><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">― Dawn Hunter, March 2021</p><p style="font-size: small; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p></div></div></div></span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">"What can one discover about Cajal beyond visual aesthetics through the task of drawing? Through drawing, one can engage in “active looking” which is another level of perceptual involvement. How and who we are with and in our work matters. It determines how we conceptualize, realize, understand and share. Toni Morrison wrote in The Bluest Eye “Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly…” Line qualities within a pictorial composition are behaviors that have ideographic subtext. When retraced, they reveal the content of the maker’s reasoning and ideology beyond technique. The eye always seeks quality in the perceptually drawn line. The line’s merit invariably betrays the artist through the sight of the other. Study someone’s drawings, and you can study <u>some</u> of their components as a person, value system as a maker, or at a minimum the underground agenda with their work.</span></i></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">On the pages of Cajal’s histology sketchbook, it appears as if his imagination is synchronized with popular concepts in 19<sup>th</sup> century Fantastique literature. Strewn with jottings and drawings examining the inner workings of rabbits, mice, cows and pigs, his sketchbook, like Alice’s world has no real order: it is upside down and backward, there are different points of time in departures, varied research themes, inconsistent goals, plus blank and missing pages. Alice metaphorically falls down the rabbit hole; however Cajal’s sketchbook is the rabbit hole. On the page marked “medual conejo” (rabbit marrow), he enters the matrix with unquestioning, commanding lines while sketching the cells of a “fresco” rabbit all the while taunting himself with a “Cheshire” like face hidden in a cell with the words “absolutemente maligno” written beside it. This cellular Easter egg was a delicious discovery I made one day while recreating that page. I, and others, had looked at the page previously, but the process of active looking through drawing refined my observation in a manner that allowed me to notice this blast from the past and share a private giggle with Cajal."</span></i><br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030;">"I am an artist, and I draw every day. It is how I know and understand the world. One day back in 2012, I was looking up neuroscience terminology to supplement an article I was reading on the claustrum,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030;"> I stumbled across Cajal’s scientific drawings. In the midst of trawling visuals on the web, I was swept away within “gesturely expressive” cellular images drawn in implied space. I was dwarfed and transported into Cajal’s microscopic world. Other neuroscience </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030;">drawings were in the image cache, like those of Camillo Golgi. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030;">However, I was not as taken with them, because Golgi’s illustrations were surrounded by a border that created closure and containment and possessed a topographical mannerism. Based on those visual qualities, I felt Golgi’s drawings were “designed,” and that construction revealed a particular point of view regarding the role of drawing in his work: that drawing was a vehicle to guide, transcribe, and organize nature in a manner that demonstrated a theory. Instead of creating drawing from a designer’s perspective, Cajal’s work in comparison is drawn with a type of perceptual observation, one in which the inherent design of nature is discovered through sighting. Drawing was a tool to observe, discern and recount microanatomy structure. Cajal’s drawings are filled with actual lines and drawn with implied space. I believe they demonstrate a philosophy that he was at the service of nature—recording and reporting the truthfulness of sight’s journey." - Dawn Hunter, November 2017</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: #303030;">I completed my Senior Research Fulbright Fellowship at the Instituto Cajal, Madrid, España in December, 2017. It was a remarkable privilege to commune with Cajal on a daily basis through studying and drawing his scientific illustrations. There is information in those works that can only be accessed by active observation: drawing. Drawing provides a type of interaction with the works and entry into information about the maker and his theories that is not possible through passive observation. Cajal proved to be a great teacher, and my "apprenticeship" yielded a fruitful scholarship of knowledge. More, of course, is yet to come. In the meantime, below are a couple of examples of my drawings of his drawings, as well as, information on my writing for the National Library of Medicine.</span></span></span></div>

With Santiago Ramón y Cajal in Spain of course! - his birthday month, born May 1, 1852. A big thank you to Jeff Diamond, Juan De Carlos, Ricardo Martinez, Rosario Moratalla, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">and Fernando De Castro: It was a privilege to participate as a symposium speaker and exhibit my work about Ramón y Cajal at the Instituto Cajal in Madrid as part of the second annual collaborative symposium between the National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD and the Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain. Below are some photos (and drawings) from the May 24th symposium in Spain and some of my new drawings completed this month at the NIH of Cajal's scientific drawings currently on display in the John Porter Neuroscience Research Center.</span></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">I am tremendously honored, humbled, and excited to have been awarded a Fulbright Senior Research Fellowship to the Cajal Institute in Spain. I am looking forward to continuing my project and conducting research on Santiago Ramón y Cajal in Madrid! Many thanks to "all" who have encouraged my efforts (especially at the Cajal Institute!) and those who wrote letters of support: Juan De Carlos, Fernando De Castro, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">Peter Chametzky, </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">Jeff Diamond,</span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.24px;"> Jill Downen, and Laura Kissel.</span></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: left;">On September 30, 2016, I posted on this blog my </span><a href="http://dawnhunterart.blogspot.com/2016/09/cumulative-effect-cajal-inventory.html" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">"Cajal Inventory" drawings</a><span style="text-align: left;">, installed as one work comprised of forty five drawings. Those drawings have been used as the basis for a group of paintings, also identified as "Cajal Inventory." Completed works from the "Cajal Inventory" paintings can be found in this post. The works have been identified as "inventories" because within them I have compiled and fused imagery and narratives from his personal life, creative works, and scientific drawings. They are also identified as "inventories" as they represent my interpretation and impressions of the content of Ramón y Cajal's life and research. Images and ideas are layered in a surreal context which displaces linear time in favor of immersing one in the imagination inspired and conjured by Ramón y Cajal.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div>

The University of South Carolina has one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States, so each spring and fall I have my students paint and draw on the Gibbes Green. Last spring while my students were working, I found on the campus trail some of the most exquisitely beautiful feathers in the light dark complementary contrast of yellow and purple - a pure color of yellow and a shade of purple. I am not sure what exactly happened to the poor bird, but judging from the condition of a couple of the feathers, it would seem as though the fowl had met a woeful, violent end facilitated by a predator. The feathers were too beautiful to leave, so I collected them and replicated Mother Nature's remarkable craft of complementary contrast for the base color of my "Cajal Inventory" paintings.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Wren and Cerebellum</i>: The wren is an active bird: vibrant, alert, and efficient. A natural choice of image to juxtapose with the cerebellum, the little brain that, too, is vibrant, alert and efficient. Cajal's untangling and rendering of the human cerebellum was one of his finest and most important achievements as a histologist. I have discarded the contemporary medical reference of the latex surgical glove found on the hand in the preliminary drawing in favor of the natural hand in the painting. The physicality of the painting inspired a reference of "actual" touch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><i>Silveria in Sanguine: </i> Silvera is the hopeful and uplifting yellow -- sanguine, to the intense depths of Santiago's introspection that held company with his "butterflies." Ramón y Cajal’s marriage to Silveria Fañanás García is an example of a highly functional complementary pairing. Ramón y Cajal in choosing a mate selected a woman whose character attributes were what he perceived to be a “perfect” complement to his. In doing so, he believed that their union would be a great accomplishment or matrimonial disaster. He said publicly many times that he would not be Ramón y Cajal if it were not for his wife and he credits her greatly with making his work and the depth of his research possible. She incited his maximum vividness. </span></div>

Ramón y Cajal was a Spanish scientist and the first person to demonstrate that the nervous system was made up of individual units (neurons) independent of one another but linked together at points of functional contact called synapses. Ramón y Cajal illustrated his studies' results with elegant drawings of neurons that he proposed work independently or collectively and that each individual unit can participate simultaneously in individual or multiple neuron functions. Ramón y Cajal was a 1906 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine awarded jointly to another neuroscientist, Camillo Golgi, "in recognition of their work on the nervous system structure," however, their research was mutually exclusive and embraced opposing theses. Santiago Ramón y Cajal is considered by many to be the father of modern neuroscience.</span> </span></div>

My artwork highlights his personality traits and his private value system, essential to his unique scientific insight that led to his great discovery: that the nervous system is comprised of individual, independent biological units, i.e., neurons. The images here are a fusion of surreal and hyper-real portraits, domestic scenes, and recreations of Ramón y Cajal scientific drawings. I have reconstructed his scientific drawings by studying his actual work on display at the National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD. I have also re-created some of his lost childhood drawings based on the description in his biography.</span></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> When I recreate his scientific drawings, I draw the whole situation of each drawing. Shadows cast from the drawings are included as are the boundaries created by the mats. I do this because his drawings were constructed with unconventional formats. Not only does this approach make spending long hours researching and drawing his works more creatively interesting, but more importantly, it serves to emphasize the content and context of his research. </span></span></p>

Ramón y Cajal, in choosing a mate, selected a woman whose character attributes were what he perceived to be a "perfect" complement to his. In doing so, he believed that their union would be a great accomplishment or matrimonial disaster. He said publicly that he would not be Ramón y Cajal if it were not for his wife, and he credits her much with making his work and the depth of his research possible. She incited his maximum vividness.</span></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> This work celebrates Ramón y Cajal and his birthday (May Day). I am symbolically mirroring Ramón y Cajal's application of complementary contrast in his marital union. Therefore I elected to use (as defined by Johannes Itten) a harmonious hexad comprised of three complementary pairs of hue from the color wheel: blue-violet and yellow-orange, red and green, and yellow-green and red-violet.
