Nicole Stott — astronaut, aquanaut, artist, mom and author — creatively combines the awe and wonder of her spaceflight experience with her artwork to inspire appreciation of our role as “crew mates” here on Spaceship Earth in a special presentation hosted by Womentum and Bank of Jackson Hole.

The event begins at 10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 26 in the Jackson Room at The Wort Hotel. Attendance is free, but a $10 donation to Womentum is recommended. RSVP today to grab a seat!

Meet the Speaker

Nicole is a veteran NASA Astronaut with two spaceflights and 104 days as a crew member on both the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle. She was the 10th woman to perform a spacewalk, she flew a robotic arm to capture the first free-flying HTV, and painted a watercolor that is now on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.

She is also a NASA Aquanaut; In preparation for spaceflight she was a crew member on an 18-day saturation dive mission at the Aquarius Undersea Laboratory.

Nicole believes the successful cooperation we have experienced in the extreme environments of space and sea holds the key to the same kind of peaceful and successful cooperation for all of humanity here on Earth.

On her post-NASA mission, Nicole is a co-founder of the Space for Art Foundation, uniting a planetary community of children through the awe and wonder of space exploration and the healing power of art. She is also the author of “Back to Earth: What Life In Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet — and Our Mission To Protect It.”

Again, we expect this special presentation to fill quickly — RSVP today!
