“consider the possibility that any man could, if he were so inclined, be the sculptor of his own brain, and that even the least gifted may, like the poorest land that has been well cultivated and fertilized, produce an abundant harvest.”

― Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Her passion project is an original and creative exploration of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, considered by many as the father of modern neuroscience. Dawn immerses Cajal in "neuron narratives," connecting him to seminal influences on his perception of a neuron as a discrete unit. Dawn shares pragmatic content, including her university teaching portfolio and "how to" professional art practice tips.

New Artist's Monograph about Cajal

Welcome, everyone. I am thrilled to unveil part of my in-depth study on the life and work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, revered as the pioneer of contemporary neuroscience. This illustrative study explores Cajal's narrative, backed by extensive archival explorations at Madrid's Instituto Cajal and on-location visits to key places across Spain where he lived and worked. With a rich blend of illustrations, paintings, personal narratives, and college-student art projects reflecting Cajal's influence, this study caters to those fascinated by the interplay of art and science. It acts as an invaluable tool to further comprehend and appreciate Cajal's enduring impact.
