ART as a means of ENLIGHTENMENT & JOY.
My art comes from my imagination; an inspiration of happiness, of color, of the unknown…
My name is SKY. I named myself after the sky.
I’ve always been fascinated with the theme of Aliens, UFOs, Outer Space… My first sighting of a spaceship was when I was 2 years old, my first memory. Woken abruptly in the middle of the night, I watched out the window, with wonderment and awe, from my crib in my apartment bedroom in Queens, NY, at what I interpreted at the time to be a brightly lit fire engine zooming through the sky…
Second memory: At age 5, sitting atop the stoop of my new home in Ronkonkoma, Long Island, NY, I stared deeply into the air and separated particles with my mind, opening to a world of colors and mystique…my first delve into the understanding of the fourth dimension and quantum physics.
my first film: “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”
my second film: “Star Wars”
the third: “E.T.”
Dreams led to drawings, high school led to exploration, feelings, questions, psychic awareness, a broadening of my horizons, a curiousity about science, the stars, the cosmos, astronomy, the planets, crystals, astral projection, outer space…
Art became a means of expression, sketches revealed messages, books emerged poetry, paint became power, passion, fury, freedom, ENLIGHTENMENT… At the turn of the millenium, on the verge of the year 2000, my art started to explode on canvas and wood, and all of the imagery that had been haunting me for years began it’s release.
ART as a means of HEALING. ART as a tool for IMAGINATION. ART to brighten your room with JOY. ART that reminds us, WE ARE NOT ALONE. ART is CONNECTION. ART IS ESSENTIAL. ART IS ENLIGHTENMENT.
I have been painting professionally for over 20 years now, and have a gigantic body of mixed-media work that is constantly evolving. For 17 years the gallery that was my home was known as “The Harvard Hive Alien Art Museum, Animal Queendom, and Crystal Earth Creation Station, Gallery/Studio/Workspace/Performance Place”, (the name says it all), based in the heart of Melrose Hill in East Los Angeles. When I moved to a new space in the beginning of 2019, the works came down and a new phase began.
All the world is a studio: Flash forward to my current Los Angeles, East Hollywood pad… my studio and creation-space, wall to wall once again filled with vibrant, passionate, colorful, wood and canvas, bursting with energy and ready to be SOLD.
In August of 2020, during the craziness of being quarantined, COSMIC ALIEN ART was founded. An online space where you have permission to DROP BY, TUNE IN, and SPACE OUT.
Why not brighten your room with a custom-designed, original work of art?
Do you have a piece in mind to commission for your son who loves baseball?
Know someone obsessed with making pancakes? How about a giant painting of a funky Alien making pancakes to hang in the kitchen?
Do you love SCI-FI? Let’s create a special UFO painting for the living room wall. No commission is too big or too small.
Want to make your white walls come alive?! Let’s splash a fancy array of cosmic creation on them! Have a theme or idea? I would love to make something special for you.
Did I mention I have an entire line of GLOW-IN-THE-BLACKLIGHT, FLOURESCENT paintings that CHANGE form and POP when you turn on the blacklight?
ART is meant to be SHARED. Because a piece of ART can put a smile on a face in the matter of an instant.
I can paint anything with an Alienistic twist. Or choose from the hundreds of pieces that already exist. The Universe is yours. Let’s video-chat, and I’ll find or create the right piece that fits your desires and needs. Virtual gallery tours and consultations can be set up by appointment. Trip the light fantastic and come on a journey with me!
Welcome to my World. My wish is that it helps make yours a bit brighter and more exciting.
Stay safe. Stay connected. Imagine the unimaginable.
