Life, through the expression of floral design.

Movement and its ability to evoke emotion has always been at the forefront of my personal expression. Early on, I was inspired through dance. Every performance, whether it was in a small setting or in front of a large theatre audience, was an exhilarating release of mood-filled energy. It was always immensely satisfying to see someone moved by something I created. 

In the midst of that former path, I made an astounding discovery: the power of flowers! The emotional impact flowers leave on your soul is remarkable. A single bloom on a nature walk, or a lavish display at an exhibit always makes a lasting impression. No matter the size of the “performance”, there is always an emotional output, whether internal or external. 

Now as a professional florist, I have the opportunity to recreate movement through my designs. I am inspired by the extraordinary lines, shapes, textures and colours Mother Nature has gifted to us. I'm constantly expanding my level of knowledge and creativity, exploring new techniques and materials. 

You'll find whimsical notes in my body of work. The theatrics from my former self tend to shine through here and there in a playful way. If your connection is deep, it never disappears.

If I can inspire any being or spark one’s soul with my floral art, I will always feel immensely grateful.
