Presenting DUST OF OSIRIS, watercolor and ink, 12x12”. Inspired by the Egyptian decorative motifs, the Egyptian Revival movement, and a high-res photo of the opened OSIRIS-REx sample container, containing dust from asteroid Bennu. This has been a labor of love for me, I hope you enjoy it!

Finished! “A FAULT ZONE OF MARS”, 9x12”, watercolor and ink on cotton. My interpretation of a HiRISE image of fault-crossed rock formations on .

Info: https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_052893_1835


The artist poses with A watercolor painting with a pinkish rusty background that has a slight steel blue sheen. The color granulates and is more concentrated in splotches across the paper, giving an organic sunspot look. Alternating dark and light banded rock formations are inked in a loose, scribbled texture in two shades of dark navy and blue.

What’s on deck this morning? A image of amazing folded rock formations on ! I have five 8x8” paintings to do by Labor Day for the Central Art Gallery Square Show, so they might as well be space (or abstract depending on the viewer. 😂)
