“I love space because it makes me feel small. While that might be terrifying to some people, it’s thrilling and comforting to me. What’s above us has been there long before we were a thought, and will persevere long after our stroke on the world’s consciousness. It’s worth looking up at and exploring.”

Ash Wheeler is a future astrophysicist and astro-artist living and working in Atlanta, Georgia.
She is currently painting the spherical bodies of our solar system while just having finished earning her degree in astrophysics to better support her work and one day work in the space industry. Her art focuses on the scientific foundations of the worlds she portrays, from canyons to chasmata to craters, all details large and small are considered in her round paintings. The enigmas of the universe are what drive her to recreate the satellites above us, hopefully inspiring viewers to feel the gravity of their scale in comparison to all of creation.
