ABOUT THE ARTWORK

MARS ASTRONAUT Oil on board, 11 x 14 inches, 2020 A Mars Astronaut returns to base by ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) at the end of a long day of gritty fieldwork. Name tag left blank. Who will he or she be?... We live in an incredible age of exploration in which space travel is becoming more accessible, and humans will soon begin their first journeys to Mars. This painting is from this era of renewed sense of adventure and hope as humanity transitions to becoming truly a spacefaring civilization. Signed by the artist at lower left and on the back. Framed by the artist in a renaissance-style frame.

I am a planetary scientist who loves to draw and paint. My artwork is about space and time, and our tiny yet hopeful place in their vastness. I draw and paint about our distant past, events we've survived, our profound cosmic loneliness, and where we might go from here. Mars is the challenge of our time. Humans going to Mars will be greatest adventure in space exploration this century. Beyond Mars, we should journey to Saturn's moon, Titan, and one day, to the stars and deep into spacetime. Although I am optimistic about our future in space and time, we face a daunting challenge in their exploration. Our spaceships are frail arks launching into an indifferent cosmic ocean. Spacesuits are covered in grit. Rovers break down. It's the engineering reality of our dream. I have in my garage a primitive spacetime machine in which I can, at considerable risk, visit distant worlds and other epochs. My artwork is my travel log. To see more of artwork:
