Sonhita Chakraborty
Sonhita is a Toronto-based plant biologist who seeks new and interesting ways to meld two of her biggest passions – science and art. While completing her PhD in plant molecular biology, Sonhita took to making whimsical watercolour and digital paintings of cells.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Sonhita wants to breakdown complex biological concepts into simple playful renderings that highlight the beauty of the biological systems she’s passionate about. Her science art has been featured in undergraduate biology laboratory manuals at the University of Toronto and science journals. Her artwork was also displayed at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) jamboree held in Paris, France and in the “a bunch of” pocket sciart guides to plant families.
