    Description
    Half-length portrait of Giovanna Tinetti, seated at a table, her hands resting upon its surface. On top of the table is a round ball, representative of a planet and her research in galactic planetary science.

    Signed in bottom right corner ‘Garry Kennard ‘13’

    Giovanna Tinetti is Professor of Astrophysics at University College London and Director of the UCL Centre for Space Exo-chemistry Data at Harwell. She is the Principal Investigateor of ARIEL, the European Space Agency’s next medium-class (M4) science mission and a former Royal Society University Research Fellow (2009-2017).

    Garry Kennard is a painter and writer interested in the overlapping realms of science and art. For this series of portraits, he requested that his subjects bring a personal object or reflection to the studio that might say something about how they thought about their science.
