| About the Artist |
Cecil Herring created her signature style called Spacescapes, a spiritual connection to space after she spent years working as a space reporter photographer covering the Apollo Moon Program at Cape Kennedy. Seeing massive space ships lifting off the launch pad 2.8 miles from the press site does something to a person, she says. "I dedicated my art to space ideas in art. Humans are spiritual creatures and divine because we can see the colors of nature and can communicate that beauty in many forms of art." |

My interest in space and mythology were blended into this new painting, Comet Sky Bird.
