SPACE NOMADS SET A COURSE FOR MARS

---

Camomile's debut non-fiction book about reaching for Mars to transform life on Earth will be released on June 22nd by Simon & Schuster. 

NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott, credited with making the first watercolor in space, wrote the foreword and Kate Mulgrew, (Captain Janeway, Star Trek: Voyager) and Sheikha Fariha al Jerrahi (Phillipa De Menil) the founder of Dia Art Foundation have endorsed it among others.

Camomile's new work; photo-collage and glitter on aluminum depicts future worlds with an emphasis on colonizing Mars. In 2019- 2020, she exhibited at the Cornell Art Museum in Delray Beach Florida, the 58th Venice Biennale concurrent show hosted by the European Cultural Center, the Oculus Station and World Trade Center in Manhattan as well as the LinkNYC kiosks on 160 locations around the city. Additionally, she exhibited at Scope NYC and the Affordable Art Fair Fall Edition with Latifa Metheny’s Azart Gallery. Hixon's most recent art installation featured supersized "Dreamboard" paintings in Tokyo Japan at the Shibuya Subway Hub. This show was sponsored in partnership with Neo Shibuya Gallery and Maria Van Vlodrop of MvvoArt.

Glitter continues to be Camomile's medium of choice as she reaches to build exalted new worlds though words, images and soundscapes. Works composed of glittering letters examine the layered meanings and subtle textures of language, a development from Hixon's background as a singer/songwriter. She describes these paintings as ‘song fragments without the movement of melody’. Other images are meditations where she seeks to ‘expand moments in time where the shimmer reminds us of our constant destiny as consciousness among the stars.
