"Chimaera:
3. a wild and unrealistic dream or notion".
This is the first collection in the book form of the work of fantasy artist and illustrator Maria J. William. Inside you will find visions of a dreamer whose imagination and need to create do not allow her a moment's rest. Ranging in style from traditional realism to stylization reminiscent of Art Nouveau, her many paintings and drawings have appeared on book covers, in game art, and in many private collections throughout the world.
Diverse and imaginative, Maria's works have been praised for their vivid imagination and emotion, and her grip on a large number of different artistic mediums is well known within the fantasy art community. Chimaera contains some of her most notable work created in the last ten years.

"Gorgeous!" I first saw Maria William's beautiful artwork in a local science fiction/fantasy convention's art show. A quick search on Google found me her homepage, and I was thrilled to see that she had this book available for purchase. Every page of Chimaera is literally covered with a variety of Ms. William's artwork, laid out in a professional manner; a great representation of all of the media she works in. I've never purchased anything from Lulu before, and wasn't sure what the quality of the paper and printing would be like, but I am unable to tell the difference between this book and something published by a regular publishing house. Absolutely gorgeous!
