Esther Hale

Esther Hale is an Indianapolis-based artist whose work resides at the intersection of art and science. She plays with the colors, forms, and textures of outer space, inspired by the Hubble and James Webb Space telescopes. Her large-scale oil  “spacescapes” capture unfamiliar horizons that exist at the farthest reaches of space and time, calling to question the old and new paradigms of human perception.
