Lynette Cook combines her knowledge of science and art to realize some wonderful visions. Her early work mostly comprised of botanical and biological imagery, she soon was able to branch out into science. Today, she is best known for her paintings of exoplanets. The realistic depiction of her work is due to her method of consulting with astronomers, even discoverers of exoplanets themselves, and learning what the worlds might look like to help develop paintings based not only on the known data but also some scientifically plausible elements such as moons and planetary rings.
