"Interstellar Mermaid" Oil, 13"H X 19.75"W
Created for the Arisia Science Fiction Convention. This particular year, I was the artist guest of honor and was asked to create an original piece of art for the cover of the convention program book. 

I designed the wraparound cover painting so that the right half (front cover of the book) had only "fantasy" elements in it and the left half (back of the cover) had only "science fiction" elements. Once opened up to its full size, both elements would be combined to tell the full story of the painting; a race of mer-people returning by spaceship to Earth, the planet of their birth, where only a dim recollection of their existence had transformed that memory into myth.
