✨ Just painted in microgravity for the first time and as part of a world first scientific experiment of this type. 🎨🚀

Humbled to join the very rare group of artists who have created in micro-G!
And so greatful for the support of my family, IIAS, friends. 🌌

🌕✨ Caught this Blood Moon during last year’s lunar eclipse in Canada.
Tonight (Sept 7–8, 2025), the Moon turns red again — visible across much of Europe as it rises already in eclipse. 🌑

Will you be watching?

The Pillars of Creation’s neighbor is finished! Will need to come up with a better name than that though, open to suggestions ☺️

$Long, rectangular painting on easel. The background is lilac at the top transitioning into purple, pink, orange, then brown. Down the center is a dense spire of gas and dust in darker browns. Several small stars are scattered about, a few with 4-point diffraction spikes.$

🚀 Spotted a space jellyfish from #Montréal at 10:38 PM!
It was the Ariane 6 upper stage venting after launching Europe’s MetOp-SG A1.
800 km up, still in sunlight — exhaust spread into a giant glowing halo with wispy “tentacles.” 🌌🪼

Just finished a watercolor/gouache piece inspired by The Goonies:
The final battle of the Inferno, One-Eyed Willy’s pirate ship.
A tribute to the legends hidden beneath Astoria.

Met Sean Astin yesterday at Montreal Comiccon. Gave him a Hobbit watercolor to thank him for inspiring me since The Goonies. And then I gave him my flight suit name tag and he made me sign it. Giving hope and joy with a simple act of kindness.

Space, The Final Frontier …

I had the honor to meet William Shatner, Captain Kirk himself—one of my biggest inspirations for pursuing my space journey. Sharing our photo and my watercolor of the mighty USS Enterprise. 🖖🏻

Last week Fire Sun above #Montreal. Climate change causes hotter, drier conditions, increasing the frequency and intensity of Canadian wildfires by drying vegetation and extending fire seasons.

🎨🪐☀️Over the years, I painted the whole solar system in watercolor — from the blazing Sun to icy Neptune. A tribute to our cosmic home.

Lucky to witness Northern Lights often here in Canada — these oil paintings are my way of preserving their magic. A reminder to protect our night skies from light pollution. Originals available for purchase.
