I am giving away a print as a thank you to everyone who has been following along & supporting me on my journey transitioning from a research scientist to full-time space artist. I’ll draw a lucky winner from my email list at random on November 13th. You’ll get a print of Spectrum of Chaos!

I’VE BEEN HOARDING MY LEGO POINTS FOR OVER A YEAR FOR THIS! www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

Been working on the tiny details the last 2 days. Coming along nicely!

maybe this is cocky of me, but after mastering nebulae (which are not easy whatsoever) I feel can paint anything

Cat’s Paw Nebula in progress 🐾

about 5 hours left before these prints disappear from my shop 🫶

Last night I went out, made new friends, and had such a great time as a venus flytrap. It was just a simple, silly costume—hand painted foam and sweatpants—but I felt like a celebrity lol. So many people complimented my costume, took my picture, and laughed that my husband dressed in a fly onesie.

Happy Halloween!

Painted the background & shadows today. Next up, adding all the tiny details to the moon & star crystals. I normally paint nebulae or planets. Hope you’re enjoying the new kind of space art as much as I am painting it! ⭐️🌙

Last chance to grab a print of Leviathan’s Wake before they are gone! My shop closes tomorrow (Nov 1st) at midnight PT. Thanks to everyone who has grabbed one so far! They’re all shipping out ☺️ I plan to do 1 more update before the end of the year stellerarts.com/pages/leviat...

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

Many of these colors are quite ugly on their own lol but when you put them all together 🤌

Sorry it's been a minute, I have an announcement! ✨ Shop opening on November 8th, 10am PT ✨ I will have a few commission spots for the holidays and a restock of finished work. Make sure you're up to date on the Commission FAQ! Amyraehill.com/commissions Full restock preview coming soon ☺️

Looking ahead, I’m going to be painting more “space still lifes”. Think cosmic brownies, a space shuttle Pez dispenser, a rocket lava lamp, a mason jar filled with gummy stars. I’ll still be doing multi-spectral nebulae of course, but I’m feeling very nostalgic & want to explore space in new ways

Added another layer to the moon crystal today!

The painting that gave me the confidence to leave academia & start an art business. I worked on it in 2022 while I was still a postdoc. Just finished painting a mini version of it & have submitted it to a local gallery “small art” exhibition. I find out in a couple weeks if I get accepted🤞

4 days left 💃🏻✨

A satellite view of Hurricane Melissa shows 5 mesovortices revolving around the central eye. These are smaller-scale rotations within the larger system indicative of a very powerful storm. They can produce greater wind speeds & lead to tornado outbreaks. It reminds me of Jupiter’s South Pole.

🧪🏺🦣 Great thread - plenty of parallels for between Loeb's problematic impact on astronomy sci comm (making big, headline-grabbing but unsupported claims) and issues in human origins. Carl Sagan's approach remains a wise baseline whether it's interstellar objects or hominin skeletal accumulations.

I hear them. The yellow-rumped warblers have arrived!

Thanks to everyone who has gotten a print so far or shared my work! Been a hectic weekend. Had to take my husband back to the ER this morning bc his kidney stone was like haha sike I’m still here time to cause trouble

5 days left to grab a print of my latest oil painting! This is a region in the Eagle Nebula near the Pillars of Creation originally imaged by Hubble Telescope 🐡🔭🧪 stellerarts.com/pages/leviat...

With your telescopes combined, I am Jupiter’s Great Red Spot in ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light! Want to know the coolest part of this painting other than the fact it’s an Earth-sized storm? The paint colors used in each of the 3 sections are completely different from each other!

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon, 48.5 minutes of exposure across 97 images taken from Bear Divide in Los Angeles. This is the first time I’ve processed a comet observation like this so I had to do some quick learning and experimentation. Hopefully I’ll improve on this in the future. flic.kr/p/2rBGQZv

Artists, when you get an email like this it’s a scam. Sending a generic message yet won’t click the link in your bio to find your shop or at bare minimum read some of your captions, recent posts, etc. = it’s sus. I see new artists get their hopes up & fall prey to this. Stay safe 🫶 🐡

Yay!!!! i finished #shiptember2025 here they all are

I love when I’m watching a show and there’s a random birding reference. It’s obviously intended for comic relief, but for me a birder, I find it delightful.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 25: Historic Mission Pioneer 10 was NASA's first mission to study the outer planets. It was supposed to be just 21 months, but ended up lasting more than 30 years. It sent its last signal back to Earth in Jan. 2003 from 7.6 billion miles (12.23 billion km) away. #sciart

Spent the morning in the ER because my husband had a kidney stone. He’s okay now! He gets them sometimes, but geez, this one was larger & he was in a lot of pain. I’ve had kidney infections before and those are extremely painful. So passing a kidney stone does not sound fun!

Prints of my latest painting will be available until Nov 1 btw 🤗. The large size is over half gone! stellerarts.com/pages/leviat...

I’m pouring all of my creativity into my work lately, so by the time I get on here to talk about my paintings I’m like uhhhhh brain is fried. Hi? Do you like space? Okay me too bye lol

bro I swear it’s almost finished 😅

Yes I spent $20 on this Pez from 2024 so it could be a painting reference

North Star - Polaris - I found my new favorite brush to use on just about everything ;u;

Science lovers, where you at? Always trying to reach my people! Especially if you live in Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, or Wyoming this time because I’ve almost sold space art to all 50 states! Prints available until Nov 1st. Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far 🤗 stellerarts.com/pages/leviat...

I also made some cosy winter pigeons & find them so charming?!

It is beginning to look like a crystal! Started adding the details today ⭐️

Oh my glob, I can’t believe I just sold another original painting in less than 5 minutes?! 😭 thank you kind space nerds

I will be sending out early access emails today at 2pm PT! Make sure to check your spam folder to be safe. Thank you for clicking, liking, sharing all the things! It really helps me reach other space nerds ☺️ 🐡🔭🧪 stellerarts.com/pages/leviat...

Got a faint, fuzzy view of Comet Lemmon through my binoculars before clouds joined the party! Honestly, I’m spoiled (or ruined?) from seeing Comet Hale-Bopp as a kid in rural Indiana. I hope someday I can see another comet that rivals that one!

varnished ✅ There is something poetic about a 9.5 light year long spire of gas & dust squished down to a size that fits on my table

Yes, this is the Millennium Force on an exoplanet. I used it as a test subject for a custom varnish mixture—equal parts satin & gloss. Love how the sheen turned out, so I’ll be using this mix on Leviathan’s Wake today.

Don’t worry neighbors, these binoculars are for comet hunting & bird watching, not creepy things

buying a low-temp freezer & filling it with Dippin’ Dots would fix me

When I first started selling my work, it was really hard to say goodbye to my paintings. I’d kept them my whole life. Seeing the progress, the growth. One reason I like doing prints is because I get to keep a part of that painting with me forever 🫶 stellerarts.com/pages/leviat...

I’m having fun experimenting with less obvious space art. Think space-adjacent paintings in different textures—foil sun balloon, moon & star crystals. Maybe a mason jar with space candy could be fun! What other space-y things would make for a cool painting? Trying to brainstorm more fun ideas.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 19: Crew Capsule The Gemini and Mercury crew capsules at their relative sizes. #sciart #spaceart #space #NASA

No kings only kingfishers, kinglets, and kingbirds! Rally in Bend, Oregon, drew thousands …. #nokingsday #birders
