Marianna Lucido is an artist who specializes in portraits of space. Her primary medium is watercolor, and she also works in acrylics and pastels. Her technique has evolved from a love for abstract color and astronomy.

Ms. Lucido says, "My perception of the elements of shape, color and texture allows me to create an image which I feel expresses the energy of the universe. Through my art, I hope to enable men and women to re-connect with themselves and the primal world around them, which has and will continue to exist for billions of years. Ultimately, we are all creatures of space."
