Roots to Blooms
As a little girl I spent all of my free time outside - digging in the dirt, playing in the woods, and designing imaginary worlds out of the trees and plants that surrounded me. The best part was inviting the other kids to join in and share in the magic of what we could create together.
Thirty or so years later, nothing has changed. I believe the energy and vibrancy of plant material flowers, foliages, and fruits are elements of transformation. They are my tools for creating an intimate experience customized to your situation and floral needs. Each bouquet is a one-of-a kind, unique work of ephemeral fine art designed with love for you from me.
As an artisan florist, my strengths lay in the way I combine unique varieties of blooms and color palettes to produce a one-of-a-kind look that you have never seen before and will never experience again. Flowers are in my soul and clients who truly understand their power are my people.
What does Atelier mean?
Ah - till - eee - Yay!
Atelier is so hard to say! And it is so hard to spell. Why on earth would someone like me (the worst speller EVER!) choose such a name? Atelier means studio or artisan's workshop. Think of a romantic Parisian artist who spent her entire life mastering just one craft in a little shop on a side street, constantly striving to improve and innovate a floral craft. That was me in a past life, and what I hope to be in this one.
