My space art
I have been drawing as a hobby since I was a graduate student long, long ago. I finally submitted some of my artwork to a show in Washington D.C. at the urging of a friend. Luckily they accepted two of my color pencil still life works. The opening is on June 25th. See the invite below.
The show prompted me to create a website to display more of my work. In addition to my still lifes, I have posted a gallery of my NewSpace inspired pieces like this one:
Hope you enjoy my space art show as well as my other works.

For some students this is their first introduction to space, science and art.
Wrapping the indoor real Saturn V Moon Rocket would have profound impact beyond our original intent to wrap the vertical Saturn V replica, we would like to pursue this option.
It would be awesome to walk under the entire length of the indoor rocket and look up to see all the art. We would have a hard time seeing all of the art on the outdoor vertical rocket which stands 363 feet tall.
