"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!
