Cactaceae Paintings and Photographs. Horticulture Display / InternVideo

This project involved the Opuntia (Cactaceae family) paintings of L.C.C. Krieger. The first part of this project included removing the paintings from boxes, placing them in acid-free envelopes, and entering the artist's name, date, and species of each painting into a computer database.

The second part included preparing a display which would fill three display cases. Twenty photos and paintings were mounted and specially prepared for viewing. Text was also produced for the display.
