Birgit has always been inspired by science
and nature. She studied Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin
and received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in 1996 while studying at the UW
School of Veterinary Medicine. Before beginning graduate school, she spent
many months in Mozambique, Africa where she was inspired by the colors
and patterns of the African art that she saw there. That influence, as
well as her interest in the natural world and animals, is seen in much
of her art. She has annual shows of her artwork in the Madison area and
currently lives in Madison ,WI with her husband and two children. |
