About the Artist

Dáša Pierce is a Czech-American painter who currently explores physics and math concepts around the boundaries between dimensions. 

Versatile in oils as well as acrylics, in her current masterworks, Dáša fuses realism and abstract concepts to shed light on our greatest science problems, such as duality of light, correspondence principle, and superposition, to name but a few.  Dáša's intent is to visually translate math and physics concepts from an artist's point of view in order to inspire those who can mathematically verbalize new associations in math and physics.

Dáša's interest in art emerged as a teen, but for 2 decades that had to wait. At an early age, Dáša's abilities in the sciences established her as one of the United States’ greatest young scientists, winning a record number of 7 International Science and Engineering Fair Awards in 1982.  Dáša was recipient of the prestigious US Army Cherry Blossom Award and was presented as an Honorary Guest to Prince and Princess Hitachi at the Japan Student Science Awards.  Dáša subsequently earned a BS in Zoology and a master's degree of Public Health from the University of South Florida, which then led to a 25-year career in Continuing Medical Education (CME).

Dáša's passion in the arts re-awakened with great force at the turn of the century, and she honed her realism skills with the world’s leading contemporary realism masters such as Nelson Shanks, Robert Liberace, and David Leffel. In pursuit of the best classical training, she attended leading realism academies such as the Florence Academy of Art and the Lorenzo Medici School of Art in Italy. After some years, she dove inward into the language of pure abstract, the wellspring of creative thought. The two quite different approaches of realism and abstract have now melded together in her current masterworks.

Born in 1964 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Dáša and her family narrowly escaped the Russian invasion of 1968. Dáša is a descendant of the great 16th century Czech Astronomer-Curator of the Famous Prague Orloj Clock and artist, Sir Jan Taborsky of Klokotska Hora. Her Grandfather Karel Taborsky was a Doctor of Biology at the Prague National Museum and founded the Czech Nature Conservatory, and her father, Jiri Taborsky was an Ichthyologist, holding 7 US patents. Her brother, Petr Taborsky holds 3 US patents. Dáša is recipient of a US Patent Award and has also invented the 3-Dimensional Periodic Table of the Elements. Dáša lives in Sarasota, together with her husband Reece Pierce, Founder of American Medical Seminars, Inc.
