These images of botanical specimens were made by artist Pipo Nguyen - duy in Claude Monet's garden during his residency in France through The Lila Wallace - Reader's Digest Artists at Giverny Fellowship.
Many of the signature decoupaged, handblown glass plates with coral images from New York artist John Derian are based on 18th - century prints, with a naturalistic style that echoes those of botanical illustrations of the same vintage.
