The Far Out Planets Project brings imagined planetary worlds into mixed media art. I use resin, mica, sand, paint, and grout across the collection to explore texture, color, and changing light.

The works take different forms, including canvases, circular pieces, and a composition on a mirror. Each one has its own photographs below, with ordinary light, blacklight, and glow views labeled separately.

I made Planet FOP: 1.7191969 for my husband’s 50th birthday. That personal connection gives this work its own place in the collection.
