| Alexandra Merkx-Jacques |
Alexandra Merkx-Jacques (also known as Green Monster Brushstrokes), originally from Montreal, is a self-taught painter and a Ph.D. trained molecular microbiologist. She has found that both fields have helped her see beauty in this world. She feels very fortunate for having the opportunity to explore the inner workings of nature both through in scientific data and at the easel. With her mixed cultural background and having lived in and visited several countries, she appreciates the many ways people can view everyday life.
Although Green Monster Brushstrokes first started as a way to support her art habit, it has also allowed her to help break the stereotypes of what both women and scientists can accomplish. She lives by the moto: Scientist by day, Artist by night, Human the whole time.
The exact significance of the name is based on a long forgotten joke between my partner and I, however, the colour green has shown up in my life a lot so I decided to turn it into something more concrete.
