As an artist, writer, and science communicator, Sunita strives to make obscure topics tangible, inviting her audience to participate in a convergence of art, science and creativity. She is a founding member of the STEM-based artists collective Bodies of Water.

Sunita’s artistic practice is based in live-painting to music, embodying a visual artifact of a transient physical experience and challenging the notion of passive audience vs active performer. Her paintings are deeply informed by research, particularly interviews, which she has documented on the podcast Music for PhDs. Together with her co-host Dr. Kate Einarson, they interview musicians, scientists, and artists working at the intersection of music and the mind. A virtual gallery can be viewed here.

Sunita has also co-authored a science fiction project with the writer Amorina Kingdon. They are represented by the Gillian MacKenzie Agency. 

Sunita’s professional career has taken her from science centres to post-secondary institutions, where she strives to kindle an emotional connection to science and learning.
