The Artist: Where imperfection becomes art.
The Process: Preserving what’s real, one petal at a time.
The Farm: From roots to bloom, a family’s quiet harvest.
I grew up with my toes in the dirt, in a yard that slowly became a garden, then a farmers’ market, then a small dairy full of goats and laughter.

I grew up with my toes in the dirt, in a yard that slowly became a garden, then a farmers’ market, then a small dairy full of goats and laughter. My mother pressed flowers between pages; my sister grew them into bouquets. I learned to listen — to color, to texture, to the way each bloom seems to whisper I was here. What I create now is born from that same rhythm of tending and noticing. Every piece begins with a single stem that spoke to me — sometimes bright, sometimes fading — asking to be remembered. Pressing, framing, preserving… it’s not about perfection. It’s about pausing long enough to honor what still remains.

The farm still hums with life. My sister runs her flower business on the land, and her floral shop in town is supplied almost entirely by what’s grown there.

The farm still hums with life. My sister runs her flower business on the land, and her floral shop in town is supplied almost entirely by what’s grown there.
My mom still lives on the property and works closely with my sister’s business — though these days, she keeps busy with her own passion project: pressing flowers for brides and creating custom keepsakes that hold their stories in bloom.
I help out as needed, but my own nine-to-five keeps me busy. Still, my love for the land endures — and from what’s overlooked, I create. Bent stems, chewed petals, blooms gone soft — reminders that beauty doesn’t ask to be perfect, only seen.

Every piece I create still begins with something small that speaks to me— a bloom from the farm, a branch gathered on a walk, a color, a scent, a story. Some become jewelry. Some become candles or creams. Some inspire silk florals or the classes I teach. But they all begin in the same place: with a moment that felt worth keeping. I press
Every piece I create still begins with something small that speaks to me— a bloom from the farm, a branch gathered on a walk, a color, a scent, a story. Some become jewelry. Some become candles or creams. Some inspire silk florals or the classes I teach. But they all begin in the same place: with a moment that felt worth keeping. I press the petals, blend the waxes, shape the silks, pour the resin, and give each element a second life in whatever form it chooses.
Many of the petals I’ve used were once overlooked—too bruised, too bug-bitten, too bent for a bouquet— but those are the ones I love the most. They remind me that beauty doesn’t vanish when it changes shape,
it just finds a quieter way to stay.
