Nathaniel Kahn




Nathaniel is a former classmate from Germantown Friends School. My father, David Karp, worked for his father, Louis Kahn (you know, famous architect?), for a number of years. My dad's father, Leon Karp, and Lou were childhood friends. Nathaniel writes and directs. I was grateful for an opportunity to spend time with a fellow alumnus I didn't know all that well, despite having spent 9 years with him. We met at GFS (at his suggestion), for the photo/video session.

Chrissy Conant



I've known Chrissy since college. We both became graphic designers in our twenties. Now we are both artists. The link to her website is http://www.chrissyconant.com/. Chrissy was in a tremendous empowered state when I took the photograph for this painting.

M Blash



M Blash is Chrissy Conant’s nephew. I had met him briefly a few times before asking to paint him. M wrote and directed the film Lying.
