Customized pieces
Here are some examples of collages and alterations of my photography that I have made in Photoshop for custom orders. I'll be adding to this page as I develop new pieces. If you have an idea for a custom order, contact me and we can collaborate.
Floral heart
I needed to make this photo (top left) into an 8x10" vertical print. However, resizing and cropping the photo to fit (bottom left) would mean losing part of the heart shape that makes the cluster of flowers so distinctive.
I decided crop the sides of the original photo as close as possible and then add to the top and bottom in order to get the correct proportions.
I used pieces of a second photo (top right) that I had taken from a slightly different angle to complete the bottom point of the heart shape, and then I used primarily the clone and smudge tools in Photoshop to extend the background (bottom right).

Tulips
This would look great in a 12x12" frame. I currently have an 8x8" version as a display piece for shows.
Monochrome nature collage
This is a compilation of flowers and trees. It would be well-suited as a 16x20" or larger print. Currently I use a framed 8x10" print as a display piece.
Blue Ridge Mountains collage
After spending an afternoon in Pisgah National Park, I decided to put my photos of Looking Glass Falls on a backdrop of a view from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Spirals
The beautiful spiral staircase from Melk Abbey in Austria juxtaposed with some examples of spirals found in nature.
Tinted flowers
This is an 8x10" black and white print that I have tinted lavender to match a client's decor.
Hydrangea collage
This is a 14x22" one-time specialty print.
Christmas cards for cat lovers
The backgrounds are my own unique creations. Each card is 5x7" and blank inside. Plain white envelopes included.
