Alicia Moya-Méndez is a science artist and photographer. During college and her time as an academic tutor, a love for art, storytelling and photography was discovered. She now combines her experience in these fields to create science art sculptures, teach courses on the science/art to the community and offer scientists an artist’s perspective on how to clearly communicate their work to society.

Integrating science, art and the community to create lasting change is the fuel lighting Alicia’s passion for creativity driven education teaching & learning.

​

Alicia offers courses to help people better understand scientific concepts through projects like DNA earrings coded by color, atom necklaces that teach atomic numbers and other concepts in the sciences turned into art. These workshops are designed to teach a science lesson using multiple learning styles while simultaneously teaching students to create science-related artwork to better their understanding of the scientific concepts discussed. Currently courses cover topics in chemistry, microbiology and biology.

As a photographer, Alicia works to capture the little things we often miss in the busy day to day. Whether it is through a client session or a visual story of a piece of our world, each photo is carefully sought out and meant to convey the subject’s emotion or environment.

Alicia is currently based in Oregon and enjoys the outdoors with her two dogs.
