I'm Vicky, and I adore space!
I've made it my life's mission to share the cosmos with everyone through my paintings. My original pieces come infused with genuine space dust! So you literally get to own a piece of the universe!🥰

I'd absolutely love to have you along on this journey with me!🥳

Light pollution is a HUGE issue, I'm just trying to bring the stars to you all. One painting at a time!

Bonus is that these prints literally glow!🤭

Sending you all clear skies!💜💫

hi #PortfolioDay ✨

I’m Laci, planetary astrophysicist turned full-time artist. I love merging science + art through vibrant space paintings!

30x30” oil painting of the Pillars of Creation. There is a partial checkerboard pattern across most of the piece, which weaves together 2 JWST images. The red orange squares are mid-infrared light. The purple blue squares add in near-infrared light bringing thousands of stars into view.

Close up of 30x15” oil painting. This section of a star-forming region looks like the skull of a dragon or Leviathan in dark brown set against a lavender background. The background fades into pink and a peachy orange moving from left to right.

24x24” oil painting of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. A vibrant circular-shaped explosion of magenta, orange, lime green, yellow, and light blue against a background of deep teal with peach stars. The painting is based on a composite image of x-ray, visible, and infrared light. At noon, 4 o clock, and 8 o clock are subtle triangles singling each type of light.

A 24x24” oil painting of the Ring Nebula. Most of the piece is a vibrant ring of complex details beginning with a blue-green center transitioning into orange, yellow, peach, then red. Outside the ring is a deep blue and black. This is the planetary nebula from JWST in near-infrared light. At 11 o clock is a small hexagon and 5 o clock has a larger hexagon. The hexagons are from another JWST image in mid-infrared light. The colors are inverted in the hexagons and the center area (now in red) has more structure at longer wavelengths.

Huzzah, it’s #PortfolioDay !

I’m Danielle and I paint and illustrate spacecraft, planets, and interesting landscapes in watercolor and ink. Fond of ink textures and pointillism. No AI here, just space and rocks/geology. 🪐🪨🚀

Prints and originals available at planetaryartist.com

Thanks for looking!

DUST OF OSIRIS by Danielle Rose Baker. A painting of the top-down view of the opened sample return capsule from the OSIRIS-REx mission to asteroid Bennu. Circular sections and hexagonal bolts are seen among the rocky material in the middle ring, framed by lotus flower motifs and patterned circles with geometric ink designs drawn in an ancient Egyptian style with gold accents. A ring of painted turquoise, lapis and carnelian rectangles accented with gold surrounds the inkwork. Inspired by the decorative motifs of Tutankhamen’s treasures, and the Art Deco-tinged Egyptian Revival movement that arose from the discovery of said treasures.

DIANA PIERCES THE AZURE SKY by Danielle Rose Baker. An ink illustration of a Saturn V rocket and launch tower during the launch of Apollo IV. The top two-thirds is a roiling sky of clouds rendered in blue, dark teal and navy inks, some with shimmering effects. Outlined against this, the launch tower is seen in shades of brown-orange. The rocket is bathed in warm light and yellow-tinged exhaust expands below, with dark shapes outlining the base of the launch pad.

HUES OF VENUS by Danielle Rose Baker. A pearlescent false-color watercolor painting on black paper of the cloudy atmosphere of Venus as seen by the JAXA Atatsuki spacecraft in 2020. In this view, the clouds are seen in swirls and ribbons of gold and dark blue, combining to blue-grays.

UBEHEBE CRATER by Danielle Rose Baker. A watercolor painting of Ubehebe Crater at Death Valley National Park. An explosive volcanic crater dusted with snow against an overcast sky. The crater wall has many layers, in shades of brown, tan and orange. The foreground is darker brown, with lighter splotches of snow.

Ohhh apparently it's #PortfolioDay again!

I'm Vicky, I paint space and use genuine space dust in my original pieces!

Light pollution is such a HUGE issue, that I've made it my life's mission to bring to stars to everyone!

I dabble in astrophotography occasionally too.💜💫

Oh definitely, I never thought it would be easy. If my money keeps depleting the way it is then I'll have to get another job, but time will tell.😄

I captured Comet Lemmon early October 7, 2025. Using my 300mm Ceravolo telescope and CCD camera. About 30 minutes of total exposures using LRGB filters. The tail is much longer than shown in this 1 degree field of view.

A beautiful new comet graces the northern sky. Comet Lemmon has a bright green comma and long ion tail

I'm having to paint one handed because someone insisted on holding my hand!🥹🤭

I've tried to move my hand several times, he doesn't want me to. I can never say no to him!🥰

Aww thanks! He's the best.🥰

Vicky Paints Space @vickypaintsspace.bsky.social · 4d

Do you ever just wake up in a REALLY good mood? I can't remember the last time I did.😂

Taken the car out for a drive with my music blasting, that's my therapy. Now I'm going to spend the day painting and cuddling this little baby, yeyyy. 🥳🥰

What are your weekend plans?!💫

Please take some time to do something for YOU this weekend. Self care is so important and you all deserve the best.🤭

I will forever be thankful for each and every single one of you, my heart is pretty full for once this week.😂

Sending you the biggest hug, clear skies and lots of love!💜💫

Vicky Paints Space @vickypaintsspace.bsky.social · 5d

I have no doubts I'll find something else to stress & worry over in the next few weeks. BUT this little pause in that constant uncertainty is definitely most welcome.

(As a side note though, can someone tell me what lens/how to photo the Moon with my camera without her just being a glowy blob?😂)

Vicky Paints Space @vickypaintsspace.bsky.social · 5d

Look who I saw last night!🤭😍

She shone down on me for ages through the window while I gamed. Let me tell you, I felt lighter last night than I have all year.🥹

Happy Friday my loves, may your days be magical! Always remember, the universe and I love you lots!💜💫

The only thing that would make today even more perfect would be selling another print or two.🤭
I don't live in cloud cuckoo land though!🤪🤣

So, you can find me cuddling my big ass (24") Moon cushion and gaming tonight!😄

Sending you all the biggest hugs and the clearest of skies!💜💫
