Space is equal parts mystery and order. This collection plays with those ideas, using color and composition to imagine what distant places might look like.
I made this with watercolor and acrylic as a kind of space “polaroid”, a quick snapshot of an astronaut on holiday, taking a minute to stare out into a nebula. Just a small, borrowed moment in a very big universe.
Although it belongs to a series, this is the one that stands out to me. A planet hovering above a stormy ocean; simple, surreal, and one of my favorite combinations of space and sea.
These pieces reimagine everyday travel— highways, flights, passing scenery— as if other worlds were just outside the window.
I made this doodle before a job interview; part nerves, part curiosity.
This series started with a three-panel spacescape, painted with the idea that I could lie on the hood of a car and look up at an impossible sky. I wanted each canvas to work on its own but also link together, like short stories crossing over their borders to form one scene.
Even with the full set, the spaceship painting ended up being my favorite. The ship’s design was inspired by one of my favorite video games growing up, Ratchet & Clank, and somewhere along the way it also started to remind me of Among Us. That wasn’t intentional, but I liked the coincidence, especially because that game kept me connected with friends and family while I was in the COVID lockdowns in the UK.
The piece is acrylic on canvas, though I water down the paint for the galaxy sections. It creates natural swirling textures that feel a bit like their own small universe, and no two paintings ever come out the same.
