Description 
This is a gicle print! The original painting (oil on canvas [4½' x 9']) was commissioned by the University of Pittsburgh, School of Pharmacy in 1999. The artist designed the work to incorporate images and ideas from basic concepts introduced in the first two years of the professional pharmacy program.

In abstract terms, the painting looks at the broad spectrum of pharmacy, including the natural and synthetic sources of medicinals. The leaves represent the natural source of medicinals from plants, and the flat and round bottomed flasks at the center of the painting, including molecular and chemical structures, represent the laboratory as the initial point of the synthetic process.

The discriminating viewer may identify the ebb and flow of pharmacokinetic curves across the canvas. The curve associated with IV bolus drug administration, including the curve associated with oral drug administration, and another masquerading as the outline of a leaf are just a few examples.

Within the design, a scale represents the need for accuracy in measurements as well as sheds light on the pharmacist’s moral and professional obligation to treat all patients equally. The different colors used on all figures represent the diversity in cultural and socioeconomic factors.

Human forms symbolize the range of specialties within the profession, from retail to clinical research. The standing figures represent the ambulatory and retail sectors of pharmacy while the very sick reclining figures represent clinical pharmacy and pharmacy’s role in healing disease.

In the upper right, a double helix of DNA spirals down from the sun to impact knowledge onto a standing figure wearing a white lab coat. This, including the different colors on the head of the figure represent the link between biotechnology and pharmacy, and the field of pharmacogenetics, in which the pharmacist’s role as a key player in research and development is very important in the future.
