Dr. Maureen Korp, Art historian, author and critic, (Ottawa, Canada) writes of the "Waterflower"series by Judi Geer Kellas:

"Flowers are grace notes, marking poignant moments we recall in the sprawl of our own messy lives.We remember the bridal bouquet, the boutonniere, the funeral wreath, and why those occasions were accompanied by flowers.  For the Buddhist, the lotus arises from muck, that is why we must think upon its beauty.  Judi Geer Kellas' work, similarly, prompts us to slow down, look closely, breathe softly.  Here is the

beautiful water flower.  A miracle."
