science meets art
Dr. Laci Brock is a planetary astrophysicist who went rogue. She finished her PhD in 2021 studying clouds in substellar atmospheres. Two years later, she made the leap from academia to art. Now she transforms scientific data into vibrant, intricately detailed paintings of the cosmos
hi, I'm Laci!
From studying the universe to painting it, I believe science and art are interconnected. My mission is to foster a deeper appreciation of the night sky and spark your curiosity in astronomy.
I'm an award-winning, self-taught artist creating work inspired by space and science. I've published research in astrophysics, science education, and have extensive experience teaching undergraduate students topics from physics to geology. But now I prefer to do all my science communication with a paintbrush!
Steller Arts is wordplay on my love of space and birds, named after my favorite bird—the Steller's Jay. I'm a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists and my paintings are in private collections across the world. To get your hands on some of my work, make sure to join my email list because it goes quickly. Join me on social media where I connect science + art, redefining what it means to be a scientist.
