Our Story

Our Mission and Values

Aesthetics

We are dedicated to the study of aesthetics as it relates to cognitive and learning theory, ethics and human happiness. Our strong belief is that on some level beauty and sensory harmony is a basic psychological need, deprived of which we feel pressured, stressed, and in no condition to learn. It’s is an integral part of how we communicate and why we remember what we’ve learned. So we do not sacrifice the aesthetic and emotional value of our works, but explore its ability to speak to the viewer’s needs, vulnerabilities, and curiosity.

Drawing as learning

One of the most satisfying aspects of illustrating science is the ability to use your drawing skill as a scaffold to learn new unfamiliar subject matter. You have to learn it before you can explain it, and creating accurate visuals often pushes the conversation with your client or subject matter expert into the territory of the unknown, pushing the research further. We believe this power of learning and discovery built into drawing is important to share with the the younger generation. Myriam Studio is committed to supporting fine arts education through sharing our research and building partnerships between STEM and art education communities.

Life with Nature

Illustrating natural phenomena and scientific inquiry into the natural world is an expression of our love of Nature. We aim to expand our efforts by supporting sustainability, environmental education, and conservation outreach programs worldwide through our creative partnerships and independent publications.
