see you in February 🫡

Thanks for all the votes! I have a nerdy spreadsheet where I tally all the votes across social media & use it to help me decide which/how many prints to order. Shop update will be at the end of next month! Email list people get early access/first dibs as always 😎

A stellar view! This is NGC 1333, a nearby star-forming region. Webb’s sharp infrared vision lets us peer through the dusty veil to reveal newborn stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects. Read more: esawebb.org/images/potm240…

Westerlund 2 ✨ A dense region of gas and dust where stars are actively forming. The pillar shapes painted here on a tiny 4x4” canvas are a few light years tall! The reference image was taken by Hubble in 2015 and combines visible and infrared light.

I now have a favorite tree!

I will now be unstoppable

Oh dang, when I had everyone vote for mini prints they wanted in my next shop update I forgot about this one because it was hidden in the back of the drawer 💀

Almost finished with a painting of the new JWST image! Tomorrow I’ll add the diffraction spikes to the stars ✨

This is one of the funniest things someone has ever assumed about me, that I come from a rich family lmao. I’ve been working and paying bills since I was 14-15. I worked 3 jobs during undergrad. Now I’m creating amazing space art & essentially starting a new career in my 30s 💪

revealing tiny art like it’s big art (but it’s mostly chaotic & unhelpful) join my email list to get first dibs on these minis next month (there will be prints too!) 🫡

I painted the most recent JWST image ✨

1/n 🧵 New epic photo of Phobos over Mars - lurking around Olympus Mons! (2024-07-13) Full size image 140 MP: flic.kr/p/2qdsc1g (it's huge) Image Processing: AndreaLuck CC BY Raw data: ESA/DLR/G.Neukum-FUBerlin ESA Mars Express - New Data Release #Space #Astronomy #Mars

cloudception: taking a picture with clouds while holding a painting of clouds that was originally my picture of clouds ☁️ I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to paint the trees or not, but I think I like my painting as is (no trees) 😌

Adding all the fun lime green parts (my fav color) to this oil painting of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. Still a long ways to go & triangles to paint but starting to take shape! I did good, now I will eat cake.

My desk is an art gallery thanks to Dr. Laci Brock!

husband: if I had a genie, I would wish for a CamelBak filled with lemonade that never ran out. me: I’m wishing for a spaceship. I’m getting faster-than-light travel and you’re over here with magical lemonade

Today I was the canvas! Got my Jupiter tattoo touched up 🤩

Spot #Starliner on its way back to Earth! After the spacecraft undocks from the International Space Station on Sept. 6, it will soar through Earth's skies before landing in New Mexico. If you're on the visibility path (all times MT) and skies are clear, look up and you might see it.

I saw Starliner from Tucson!

just a nerd & her Jupiter tattoo ✨
