I take digital photos and adjust them to produce abstract montages. Many focus on the beautiful lotus and other flowers from various gardens. Montages also include images from Cornell combined with transparent botanical layers, manipulated architecture and sculptures, and images from travels. I have produced two books through Lulu.com, Lotus Studios Montages and Artful Cornell. The future is wide open as to subjects and designs.
