So grateful and humbled to be featured in “By Design”, the Publication of the GCA Floral Committee. Thank you @louisianafleur!

During my presentation, “From Concept to Catwalk: Transforming Nature into Wearable Art,” I’ll share my botanical journey, sources of inspiration, and creative process – bringing botanical couture to life for conference attendees.

A recent shoot on Sauvie Island with a truly inspiring team of dancers.
@a.n.a.paloma and @boyer.patsy wore botanical capes crafted with hot glue to mimic the delicate intricacy of lace, each adorned with a lush variety of interwoven flowers.
So much joy and tenderness radiated through these images, guided beautifully by the direction of photographer @theresaisabear.
Thank you for the perfect makeup and hair @event_cosmetics, @hairbymileyg and @brian.cline
