Bio
Michelle (Reinke) Davis graduated with a Master of Science from the Medical College of Georgia’s Medical Illustration program in the spring of 2010, and she is a proud professional member of the Association of Medical Illustrators. Although she has always had a fascination for visually depicting the natural and biological, it was not until she entered college at Drake University in Des Moines, IA, that she ‘discovered’ the field of medical illustration. She had been immediately intrigued about this practical fusion of art and science and completed her education there with a B.A. in graphic design and a B.S. in neuroscience.
In her spare time, Michelle can be found lifting weights, attempting a new recipe, playing her flute for local churches, and improving her ballroom dance coordination. Considering these passions for both physical fitness and the arts as a whole, it is even more fitting that Michelle’s work deals with visualizing the human body, how it works, and how it can work better. Indeed, special interests within the field include lifestyle diseases and exercise physiology, as well as women’s health and web design.
Michelle believes strongly in the impact that accurate and well-executed designs and artworks can have on an audience, and eagerly looks to the future to all the projects yet to be embarked on.
