Chicagoland artist, Laura Lynne, creates a cute astronomy turtle art set for kids.

The idea for the astronomy art series was inspired by my astronomer cousin, Dr. Rachel Osten.  These pieces were done as a gift for her youngest boy’s room.

This is how the quote should read:  “Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.” It’s a Serbian proverb.  My astronomy quote paper cut art displays the words backwards because I wanted the words and pictures to correspond.  The Earth part is written in the earth and the stars part of the quote is written in the sky.

Here, I imagined a deer and turtle visiting an observatory late at night when all of the other astronomers have gone to sleep.  They will gaze at the stars until the morning hours.

A butterfly flies by the mountain observatory while the starry sky lights dance above.

These blue, astronomy animal art prints are for sale in my shop. The quote is also available in purple.
