Nature’s Canvas invites you to see science through a creative lens.

This exhibition brings together research students, technical staff, and academics to showcase the exciting work happening right here in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Essex. Through striking visual displays, contributors share a scientist’s-eye view of their research.

Nature’s Canvas: Creating Art through Science

The exhibition, hosted in the Art Exchange, will take you beyond the lab and offers a fresh perspective on the science happening all around us.

Whether you're a fellow researcher, a science or art enthusiast, or just curious about the world, we hope you'll find something here that sparks your imagination. Let the artworks on display take you on a journey, from the feeding clicks of a spiny seahorse to the hidden landscapes of cancer cells.

Organisers and funding

Nature’s Canvas was organised by PhD students Lucy Smith and Izi Firth from the School of Life Sciences and made possible with funding from Proficio, ARIES DTP, Essex Cancer Research, and the Society for Experimental Biology.
