A Grand Oasis

**Work in Progress**

“The vast loneliness up here of the Moon is awe inspiring, and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth. The Earth from here is a grand oasis to the big vastness of space.” — astronaut Jim Lovell, Apollo 8

Based on an image taken by the crew of the Artemis II on their April 2026 mission to the moon, this piece attempts to capture some of the beauty and wonder of our Earth as viewed from space while also reflecting on the fragility of our tiny planet. Earth is the only home we have. If we continue to treat it and treat one another as disposable, for just how much longer will our time at this grand oasis last?

Details

All my relief prints are hand-carved and hand-printed in my home studio using oil-based ink on high quality papers, designed to last a lifetime or more. Limited runs include the edition size, title, and artist signature in pencil underneath the print. Open runs are stamped with my artist seal.

Because all my prints are original hand-made items there will be small variations from piece to piece that give each print its own unique characteristics. Photos are representative, but please be aware that the specific piece that you will receive when making a purchase will have minor variations from the photos shown here.
