The Blooms // My Artwork

What are The Blooms?

The blooms are the bouquet or the final art piece; the fruits of my labor, hard work, and endless quest to try new things. If you want to purchase some of my fresh flowers or my artwork, check out where I'll be blooming next!

Upcoming Events & Art Shows

During the second half of 2024, I decided to step away from doing art shows and markets for the most part. In 2025, I am focusing on my family, volunteering, and adding in teaching some new workshops. You can still find my mini paper wrapped dried flower bouquets at SRM Prints and you can find out more about the workshops I will be a part of on my Workshops page or by checking out my Instagram page.

My Artwork

I am inspired by flowers, nature and sustainability. I make everything from crepe paper flowers to watercolors and I arrange and sell fresh flower bouquets in the summer. My most recent work has used my flowers in new ways - pounding them, pressing them, drying them, and incorporating them into handmade paper.

I do not currently have an online store; if you are interested in purchasing my work, please check out my upcoming events or contact me directly at askpetalcreative@gmail.com. You can also follow me on Instagram to see my latest work and updates!
