Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "In my painting, I chose to depict Gene Shoemaker surrounded by the universe he so passionately studied, and the stories he helped us uncover. In one palm, he holds a mockup of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, symbolizing his role in preparing humanity’s first Moon explorers."
