After graduating with a Fine Arts degree and working as a ballroom dance instructor for the majority of my 20's- I started to crave a quieter life where I could work with my hands, be in nature, and grow my skills again as a fine artist. I was drawn to floristry. It seemed to have all of the qualities and values that I was searching for in a career. So, after a LOT of encouragement from my friends I started to call around Columbus, OH and eventually found a florist willing to teach me floral design. In 2020 I began training- I attended workshops, studied flower varieties and care, participated in and taught classes, and volunteered time. I eventually moved on to a florist studio where I learned contemporary floral design and took on more responsibility. I had grown so much in a short period of time. In 2022 my (now) husband helped convert the spare bedroom of our rental home into a studio to dry flowers and make arrangements for our wedding... and since then it's remained that way.
