She first came up with names of angels of the sky and other ideas but decided to use the name Celestial. She really wanted people to look to the skies and receive their courage.
“That is what encourages me, the sky, the planets, the universe,” she said. “We get really caught up in down-here stuff, so I just wanted to put something colorful and bright and beautiful and also encouraging like ‘there’s more, look up.’”
She also thought of children when she painted her horse, thinking the world needed more astronomers.
