Visual Art – Austin

Hello, My path started in the flower world 4 years ago selling flowers for a florist. While there I started designing vases & enjoyed setting up weddings. But for some reason designing flower arrangements made me nervous; so many expectations & so many ways to design them. Then while working for an amazing awe-inspiring wedding florist, an idea just popped into my head. We were taking everyday containers and making them into little succulent arrangements. I could design & sell those. Ever since, I can\'t stop picking out succulents & putting them in small & funky containers. Now, I have a mobile succulent cart that I set up every weekend, bringing my living sculptures to the people on the streets of Austin.
