2019 Maker Exhibits

ChipScapes are artworks made from taking pictures of microscopic computer chips. By using special lighting and angles, bright colors are created to make interesting art. ChipScapes include the chip images, history of the chips, and the actual chips themselves. My jewelry sometimes uses upcycled old electronic parts, sometimes my ChipScapes artwork (see below), and sometimes both. SteamTronix borrows from Steam Punk, Cyber Punk, and Art Deco styles. I enjoy the creative process and love to share technology. Art speaks all languages, even binary. Explore www.ChipScapes.com to learn more.
This is made with Acrylics and Resin on MDF Board. Shells used on this were hand picked from Sanibel Islands on the West Coast of Florida.

Optics and Photonics is the science and technology of light: from powerful lasers, energy-efficient LEDs, to fiber communication and bio-medical imaging. Within our college, we host annual Optics Demonstration Design competitions where we ask photonics-major students to design and build setups that demonstrate the concepts and applications of optics, from topics as simple as the reflection and refraction of light, to technologies as complicated as optical communication and non-conventional imaging systems (Schilieren imaging, Holohram amd other "exotic photography"). They have been presented on CREOL’s Optics Day, STEM day, MakeFest (Orlando Science Center) and other outreach events.
