Meet the Author

" Mary Kirsch Boehm can detect the presence of an art museum from miles away, and she has done so during her travels around the world for many decades. Armed with art books, the science educator trekked from museum to museum through Europe for more than 40 years, and her passion for art and science has never diminished. Born in Lockport, New York, the retired science teacher has science degrees from both Buffalo State College and the University at Buffalo and is now a docent at the renowned Albright-Knox Art Museum and the Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo, New York. "

What do Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso have in common? Can we learn about science by studying art? There are many connections just waiting to be discovered between the natural world and artistic techniques that have been used for centuries. Author and retired science educator Mary Kirsch Boehm systematically guides readers through a look at science with an artistic eye, introducing an integrated and often overlooked view of the two disciplines. By exploring the materials and techniques of art and the science behind them, Boehm reveals just how interconnected our world really is.
