For a large portion of Tricia Coyle's career, she was a Cytologist. She worked in a lab analyzing cells and the anomalies that occur in them that signify disease. Coyle studied cells for 14 years learning the ins-and-outs of cells and committing that imagery to memory. However, after all that time she decided that it wasn't for her anymore. It was time for a new path, so she left the field and started using all of those stored up mental notes as her main inspiration for her art. It was a totally new type of experiment that turned into expression.
