After completing my Ph.D I sent my mom a copy of my thesis. She claimed to have read it, and of course I didn’t really believe it, but for my (upcoming) birthday this year she gave me this painting (Figure 1), inspired by Figure 4.6 from my thesis, a pollen diagram of aerial pollen trapped in Vancouver over the course of 13 years. I suspect it’s one of the few painting inspired by a stratigraphic pollen diagram, but I’d love to see others.
