About Me

My photo
Gainesville, Florida, United States
Astronomy themes, landscapes and public art are some of the targets of my work. These are the best of times as we stand on the threshold of unprecedented discovery in space. As a space artist, I am grateful for and inspired by the amazing images of faraway places that the great telescopes of our generation have given us. As a plein air painter, I am inspired to quickly capture light, color and movement with the focus on our rapidly changing environment. As an artist within the live public art venue I am inspired by the opportunity for creativity, spontaneity and exchange.

10/31 Halloween Trek

Joanne and I portrayed our Star Trek counterparts, Nurse Chapel and Captain Spirk on Halloween. We set up the telescope under the streetlight at the top of the hill and gave all the kids and parents an awesome view of Jupiter, and of course candy too! The eyepieces needed some serious cleaning aftrewards, what with all the heavy makeup and sticky fingers!
