3-D Rendering - 1994 The Studio This image was created using Greg Ward's Radiance software, one of the best lighting simulation software packages available.

Pastel on Paper - 1993 Urbanphibian This piece is a playful interpretation of the "urbanphibian", the combination of the words "urban" and "amphibian" into a single word. The piece was an experiment in integrating colors into a scene that were not in the original scene.

Pastel on Paper - 1992 Taly Isham This piece depicts the artist's sister in a cafe in downtown Brooklyn. In The title comes from a character in William Gibson's "sprawl" series, and refers to the name on the small piece of paper tacked above the photograph. If one looks closely one can see that the artist has drawn tiny camera optic markings around the cornea. Taly Isham, according to Gibson, was (or will be) a famous simstim (simulated stimulus) star, whose eyes like those of everyone in her profession, had been replaced by cameras. This painting is a picture of someone's picture of someone who's eyes are continuously taking pictures. Or something like that.

Pastel on Paper - 1991 Satyre This piece is one of several created while studying painting and drawing in rural France.  The model, Mme.
