Artist Statement

I have always been excited about the exploration of space. This print was inspired by the new James Webb Space Telescope and the images it produces of the most distant parts of space. Inevitably, the discoveries we make of the unknown will reveal things we didn’t expect to find, perhaps things as unexpected as driftwood on the moon.
