I created this surgical illustration series on the oophoropexy, or ovarian transposition. This is a surgery in which a woman's ovary is moved to a different part of her abdomen so that radiation can be safely performed. Later in her life, the surgeon may move the ovary back to its proper position, giving the woman a better chance to become pregnant.
Here are just a few of the medical illustrations I've prepared for clients. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the illustrations or about pricing.
In the neural firing of our eyes, there is a duality rather a trichromy in the interpretation of color. Ewald Hering described the opponent-process theory to explain this. Neurons that fire in response to a red object will, in their sudden absence, create the illusion of having seen green; and vice versa. Neurons that fire in response to blue will see yellow in the sudden absence of blue. Neurons that fire in response to black stimulus, in their sudden absence, perceive white. Opponent-process is also an emotions theory. Emotions come in pairs.

What can we learn about the design of the universe, as we look to the body for clues? My question finds me at a somewhat broken place where I have observed a great deal of disconnectedness. But recently I am beginning to observe in those same patterns, a common architecture. I wonder if this sense is real. I want to find design parallels using science, art, philosophy and all the truth traditions as tools. I want my professional life and my personal life to lead me down this path of exploration.
