Bio

Marilynn Flynn was born near Detroit, Michigan where she 'grew up with the space program'. Her artwork has appeared in numerous books, magazines, TV programs, DVDs, science exhibits, art shows and websites. Her paintings are in the permanent collections of several museums, including the Kennedy Space Center, as well as in private and corporate art collections.
Although she hasn't made it into space herself yet, her painting of "Cosmic Cauldron" was selected as one of twenty paintings that were launched to the Mir space station, where it orbited Earth for several months as part of "Ars Ad Astra", the first group art exhibit in space. Also one of Marilynn's sketches is on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan - it was part of a CD made by ESA which is attached to the Huygens lander.
Marilynn also paints 'Earth' landscapes, botanical paintings based on plants she grows in her own gardens, and occasionally does graphic art and illustrations of other subjects. She is also creating a line of "Jewelry Inspired by Space" - featuring designs that include real meteorites or are inspired by an astronomical event.
