Port Clyde, ME, Artist Painting for NASA

"Watercolor painter Barbara Ernst Prey is widely known for her deeply colorful depictions of American landscapes. While blue skies play a central role in her paintings, Prey had never thought about painting what lies beyond those Earthly skies - space.

"But that all changed in 2001 when Prey, who summers in Port Clyde, was asked by NASA to join an impressive roster of artists who have partnered with the agency to create artistic renderings of prominent moments in space exploration history."

The Bangor Daily News recently published an article reporting on Ms. Prey's art adventure with NASA.
