Becki Hiscocks
Becki Hiscocks is a Bristol based illustrator with a background in Fine Art and Education. Following a continued fascination of the history of anatomy she applied to the MAET in order to consolidate her knowledge and further develop her drawing practice.
Becki has had a diverse career within the arts and is a qualified lecturer having worked for many years in post-16 education. As a studio assistant to Damien Hirst she specialised in entomology and currently, as a designer for Zardi & Zardi, she creates fabrics and panoramic wallpapers based on historic tapestries.
Becki is passionate about the use of traditional methods within her illustration and much of her practice focuses on drawing, etching and watercolour. She is particularly fascinated in pathology, viewing disease as the narrative of the body.

Louise Hinman
My name is Louise Hinman, freelance artist and medical artist based in Brighton, London and Barcelona. I have over 15 years of drawing, illustration and exhibition experience. I can produce work for medical and academic research projects, anatomical and/or conceptual commissions and am experienced at running workshops and producing visual scribes at public engagement events, meetings and conferences.
I am interested in combining the traditional aesthetics of medical art with modern techniques, technologies and innovation.
I believe drawing is a direct and effective tool by which an artist can communicate processes and understanding. I can master a wide variety of styles and can adapt to suit individual preference or a particular project. My skill set is broad and I have a particular interest and expertise in traditional line drawing, simplification complex procedures or anatomy for diverse audiences, data visualisation & information graphics, and the applications of 3D modelling.
For my dissertation, ‘The Growth of Prosthetics’, I researched an overview of the design, demand for, functional expectations and the methods of creating prostheses.
