Flowers, leaves, sticks, branches, driftwood, nuts, pods, bark & feathers get my creativity flowing. Australian, South African & cottage flowers locally grown, botanical materials sourced or foraged in the South West or occasionally from somewhere in W.A. are all part of my repertoire. I’ve used my traditional floristry training to launch myself into being a Flower/ Botanical Artist. Along with plant materials, I use pre-loved vases, beads, fabrics & other items that catch my imagination to create bespoke & unique flower arrangements, & other creations.
Always a hippy at heart with an unfailing passion for nature, creativity & the environment, I was over the moon to find floristry as a career when I left school in the 80’s. I seemed to have a natural flair & loved being involved in competitions, occasionally winning a prize. But I was not happy to realise just how much chemicals & plastic are used in mainstream floristry & this seemed to increase over the years & to top it off, it’s economically cheaper to import flowers then commercially grow them here so almost all the local flower farms growing “European” flowers are gone, most of our blooms are imported from overseas or interstate. Luckily for us, the Margaret River region has a sprinkling of ethical flower farmers. Influenced by many forms of creativity & art from my extensive travels, passionate about the environment & inspired by nature I have created a little home studio where I make sustainable botanical art, where you can experience something unique. If you are creatively inspired and want to find your natural flair come & join a workshop where we can let our hair down & make something a little wild & very individual to you to take home.
