Update #1: New project

Posted on November 20, 2009

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your support :). We almost had enough pledges, 76%, to meet our funding goal, so I'm including this pastel painting in my next kickstarter project, which I just opened here:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidliao/vote-for-your-favorite-jersey-pastel-painting

In this new project, you get to vote for one of three pastel paintings of New Jersey by buying a print. The painting that sells the most prints wins and enters the public domain. I'm excited to find out which painting will win.

Best,
David Liao

My time as a young researcher in physics inspires many of my pieces. I create impressions of nature, illustrate scientific concepts, and paint buildings of scholarship. My art reveals learning processes: nature paints perceptions, we frame its art in conceptual boxes, and we gather ourselves in the boxes of the academy.

My published scientific illustrations include a figure in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I was commissioned for a watercolor Princeton University printed on Christmas cards sent to 2500 graduate alumni. The English Wikipedia’s front page has featured my watercolor of Cleveland Tower as “Picture of the Day."

Born in Red Bank, NJ and raised in California, I paint scenery from both States and from frequent travel. I received a B.S. in Physics from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA and an M.A. in Physics from Princeton University.
