Flowershop Click on a thumbnail to view the image. I used to deliver flowers. I grew up in a flower shop. “Good afternoon, Sunshine and Flowers!” I still get tempted to answer the phone like that- old habits die hard. My mother, Sharon, taught me the principles of flower design. As a fine artist I’ve seen those principles translate in all of the arts. “Always leave room for the butterflies to fly through,” she said. Also, “know when to stop,” “don’t overwork it.” And, “it should look like they just grew out of the vase that way, like you just watched. Sometimes that’s what it feels like.” One of mom’s favorite quotes comes from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. This book was a major source of inspiration. “The floral apostles are hieroglyphs of deity.. Suns and planets teach grand lessons.” The lessons I learned doing flowers with my mom go a lot farther than the principles of design. It was always about love. Just when life seems completely compartmentalized, we might find the joy in a bridge across the compartments. That’s what happened when I started making faeries. My work in the flower shop and character building with puppets, and fine arts, combined in these display pieces. I still get calls from clients who want something dramatic and whimsical for their home or office.
