Growing up, I spent most of my summer days under the shade of a lilac bush.  My mother’s home was generously adorned with tiny bouquets of wildflowers, and when I was five, my mother and I turned the backyard sandbox into my first garden.  Together, we created a raised bed of marigolds, vegetables and lavender, which would not only yield a colorful harvest, but would sow a lifelong love affair with flowers.

 As I got older, my fascination with all things beautiful led me to explore many mediums.  I experimented with textiles, paints, metals, sculpture, design and anything moldable that I could get my hands on.  I began creating arrangements for weddings and special events for my family and friends, and honing my skills for the past 13 years.  All of the designs that I create for weddings and special events marry my passion for flowers and my skills in many creative mediums.
