FLORAL MEMORIES UNEARTHED
From Daisy Chains to Floral Masterpieces
As a little girl, creativity was more than encouraged, it was a cherished value, rooted in daisy chains and inspired by the beauty of nature. Those playful beginnings grew into a lifelong love of art, design, and florals. Today, I honour that journey by filling handmade ceramic vessels, crafted by dear friends, with flowers that celebrate the union of craftmanship and the natural world.
