One of the first images from the Artemis II crew was of Earth, the blue marble with a crown of aurora.
The photos were out-of-this-world.
The Artemis II crew orbited the moon and captured many images along the way, transmitting them back to us planet-side within hours.
The photos from the Artemis II included an earthset, much like our sunset, and earthrise from the moon’s perspective.

Taking a step back and looking at our planet, a place we all share, should be a cause for pause for us.
Earth is our home, and we need to protect it.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, the three-Rs, have been a staple for a long time, and we wanted to celebrate artists who are repurposing materials and reusing what may be seen as junk and creating art.
In this edition of The Article, we spoke with Karl Mattson, who is creating art with a message using found items and materials that may otherwise be sent to a landfill. He finds the beauty in what others see as nothing and transforms it into a message and a work of art.
Sheri Brewster takes beautiful bouquets and preserves them, or turns the same flowers into something new through her art, transforming the fleeting life of a flower into something more permanent.
When David Kay emailed me about his journey hiking and photographing the Kleskun Hills, I thought it would be good to look at nature in our own backyard and what we are protecting by following the three Rs.
As the recent Artemis II mission has shown, we all share this blue marble and should protect it.
I hope you enjoy the May edition of The Article.
