For most of my life, I have been immersed in a variety of creative pursuits. My path to flower preservation has been shaped by many of my experiences and skills that have led me to create this unique and lovely form of floral art. As long as I can remember I have been involved in a variety of handiwork, crafts and creativity. I have pursued many forms of art, including painting in oils and watercolor. I am a published fine artist and my paintings have been shown in many galleries. In my professional life, many years as a graphic artist and web designer have trained me to have an eye for the principles of great design and layout. I also spent 12 years running my own professional picture framing business where I learned how to properly frame with archival products.

Along with graphic design and picture framing, I spent many years as a wedding and family photographer. It was during my wedding shoots that I first noticed that brides lacked a way to preserve their beautiful flowers, with many bouquets sadly left behind or tossed. This got me interested in exploring botanical preservation techniques. I already had many years of experience with pressing flowers to make cards and frames/gifts, and then learning how to preserve with silica and resin.

But, most importantly of all, I have a GREAT LOVE of anything FLOWERS and GARDENING!! If I am not inside working on a preservation you will find me in my garden! I am a passionate organic gardener of both flowers and veggies. I love making bridal bouquets, beautiful flower bouquets and arrangements using the bounty from my own flower garden.

Each of my flower preservations are unique and special and it is my joy to create an heirloom art piece keepsake just for you!
