I was looking through some references the other day and stumbled upon the art of Qinni... I remember loving to browse their gallery, and showing the tutorials to people during class; they were always kind to share knowledge, and their art is still just as stunning as it was back then, a decade ago.
It made me think that I still have so much to learn from them, and that puts a smile on my face. At least for me, they've left so many treasures I have yet to discover.
I've always loved the fairytale-like stars and galaxies in their art, so I drew something that popped in my head. 
Thank you for everything, Qinni! 💫

hi I’ve been coping. I know I’m super fucking late to the this but I found out Qinni passed away and it’s so crazy to some people to be upset over someone you’ve never met. But when I first saw the painting she did of the girl with the galaxy freckles, my world was turned upside down in the best way possible. I was a preteen in middle school, dealing with depression, puberty, bullying and stress. Seeing Qinni’s paintings inspired me, although I hardly draw myself. I had never seen something so beautiful, and her artwork showed me that there really is beauty in this world. Her artwork showed me that the human mind is incredible bc believe me, I would never be as creative as she was. Her galaxies lit a fire in me and I started to try again. I started to try for life and to love stuff around me, no matter how sad I got. It’s such a shame that I only found the name of someone who truly changed my life just yesterday. Qinni’s legacy is so beautiful and I hope she is painting all the galaxies where she is 💙 Thank you for changing me Qinni, and although I am so late saying this, I do miss you. You made this world better

But you can skyrocket away from me And never come back if you Find another galaxy Far from here With more room to fly Just leave me your stardust to remember you by.
Goodnight, Qinni

If you haven’t heard yet, @qinniart has passed away. I am sad. Real sad. I’ve followed Qinni’s work for a long time, since her early DeviantArt days. There have been many times over the years when I’ve stopped drawing due to my own medical issues, but Qinni’s art and medical battles would often inspire me to get up and start again. In Spring of 2018 my health took a big dive and I thought that’s it, I’m toast as an artist. But... when I’d come across Qinni’s art online and thought about how it made me feel better, I thought that maybe I could at least try to do that for other people. So starting in Fall of 2018 I tweaked my style and found a new way for me to work around my health, with the focus on creating art to make other people at least a little happy - no matter how sick and broken I was. I am deeply, deeply saddened that Qinni���s fight ended how it did. I am grateful for Qinni and her work. Thank you, @qinniart. ✨

Here is a poem I wrote for the artist, Qinni, who made these pieces and many more. She died last year and this is how I made sense of it.
-love letter to Qinni-
The day you died the sun was shining
and I caught myself before deciding
it wasn't right. The world lost a light
and so why should it have to lose
any more? Now one day later snow
flakes fall as the sun still shines.
I can only wonder what you would've made
with that. But all I can do is what I can
with what I have to honor your name.
We out here not yet gone are painting
pictures with tears, writing your name
in water for those who know to see.
I am not an angel. That's what you are.
That's what an angel is: dust pressed
into a diamond by the weight
of the world. Heart operations and
cancer thrown into the vessel
of a life exhaled far too early
and could there be another universe,
one that wasn't always out to get you,
it breaks my heart just a little bit.
You pretended your blue and purple
hospital bruises were galaxies
and you gave them to us with no fear
and were rewarded with untold hearts
that still beat for you. We're bent
but not broken. I'm not dead yet
and I live to sing praises of painters
and poets for the heroes who wait
beyond the door for us.
I'm watching a TV show whereupon death
a seed in the brain is triggered by exposure
to truth and then grows a flower,
a garden of the universe. Another
painting of yours that doesn't exist.
I wish it did and yet we exist in other
dimensions besides this. You are there
somewhere brush in hand
painting all of this with a pure heart
and a smile on your face.

Dear @qinni, Thank you so much for adding a little light to the darkness and for fighting for so long. Thank you for creating beautiful art that inspired me and helped me feel not alone over the years. I never knew you personally but your work, inspiration and humor has impacted me and so many others regardless. Your work and legacy will live on even while you rest. Wishing you a peaceful rest free from pain and worry. You will be sorely missed. Inspired by Qinni

I finished this in February last year as a tribute to Qinni, an artist who unfortunately passed away in January 2020. Many artists at the time were making tribute pieces to her, and this was my contribution. I only hope it does her justice. : )

🌟 Qinni Tribute 🌟
It's been about a year since one of my biggest inspirations passed away, and I thought I'd do another tribute piece dedicated to @qinniart because I feel like my last one wasnt nearly good enough. This time I wanted to combine a bunch of elements from her pieces into one stained glass painting, and I definitely like it much better than the first tribute piece I did. Rest in peace, Qinni 💙🌕

Qinni was an inspiration to me for a long, long time, first as an artist and then from a chronic illness/disability standpoint. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace.
