Sweet Pea and Gooseneck Loosestrife

Renee Phillips - Director, Manhattan Arts International

Sandra Belitza-Vazquez "created this exquisite work of art 'A Handfull of Sweet Pea and Gooseneck Loosestrife.' Her process is time-consuming and often tedious, but she is delighted that she achieves these stunning results -- and so are we!" 

Renee Phillips - Director and Curator of Manhattan Arts International.

"Love your idea behind this gorgeous work of art. Your attention to detail is superb...the way you wrapped the stems, the black background, the overall arrangement..."

Sandra Belitza-Vazquez - "Thank you, Renee. I love creating these scans. Each one seems to energize me. I can't go anywhere without seeing potential scan objects. I carry plastic bags, boxes, and pruning shears with me in the car, just in case I have to stop along the road and collect specimens. Love it!"

Renee Phillips - What fun! Your unbridled passion for creativity shines through!

Bela Fidel - Manhattan Arts Associate Artist.

"This brings tears to my eyes. Cannot put it into words. I shared this with a dear friend as well as with an acquaintance who works with Ikebana. Some things have the capacity to reach us deeply. Thank you!"
