Hi, I’m Danielle Rose Baker, and this is my website, Serenitatis*.
I live in Oregon, but I’m from California. I have too many creative pursuits, but my primary focus is on painting rockets and landscapes and rockhounding/lapidary arts with my husband Nate. We also make nerdy stickers and design things. I love spaceflight and astronomy. I saw two of the last three space shuttle launches—one as a STS-133 #NASATweetup participant. It was fantastic! I also love gemology, architecture, jewelry history, science fiction and fantasy, Star Wars, and Sailor Moon.
By day, I work in medical (it’s complicated), after a long time as a graphic and web designer—pushing pixels since 1995. (Ugh.) Should I be published in future, the book cover department will learn to dread my informed design opinions and suggestions. I will be That Author. 😀
*Mare Serenitatis—the Sea of Serenity—is a small lunar mare on the Moon’s near side. It is also the location of the Silver Millennium, the former moon kingdom of Sailor Moon. It was a fitting title for my Sailor Moon fansite, which lived at this domain for most of its 18 years, before it closed in 2015. I couldn’t let the domain go, after all this time—almost 25 years!—so I’m repurposing it.
