She's not just an artist! Andrea Ackerman is truly the modern Renaissance woman.

This lady makes the art world proud with her stupendous accomplishments in fields like Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry – studied at Yale and Harvard, no less! And aside from rocking the art world with her animated, 3-D works that can be counted as 21^st century trompe l’oeil paintings, she also worked as a psychoanalyst and psychiatrist.

Perhaps it's her interest in these scientific disciplines that makes some of her works look like textbook diagrams! Ackerman employs a computer program called Maya to achieve such high quality animation.

So in the unlikely scenario in which Ackerman doesn’t make it as a visual artist or as a scientist or as a psychiatrist…she can always check if Pixar is hiring.
