FLORIST IN RESIDENCE
I’ve had the privilege of arranging flowers across the globe. The changing seasons never cease to inspire me as I immerse myself in nature daily.
My unexpected journey into the world of flowers began while I was immersed in the study of surreal and abstract art in Sydney. Surrounded by a studio filled with canvases and the ever growing bounty of blooms, I had an epiphany: while the canvases remained static, the flowers, branches, and foliage grew. In that moment, I realised my paints had been replaced igniting a passionate love affair with floristry.
With three transformative years at college and countless hours in a bustling Sydney flower shop under the guidance of a master florist, I honed my craft although I know to this day every project or event is a new learning experience.
“My inspiration springs from the smallest details and I often find myself wandering outdoors, gathering treasures to weave into my designs.”
In May 2021, I was fortunate to begin my dream job as the florist-in-residence at The Fife Arms, a luxurious hotel in Braemar, Scotland, owned by the exceptionally talented husband-and-wife duo, Iwan and Manuela Wirth.
Moving to the UK in 2020 I had many months during Covid lockdown to really explore the parts of my business that made my heart sing the most, weddings and events being my main focus on any stage anywhere.
Over the past four years, I’ve collaborated with incredible clients including Hauser and Wirth, Byredo, Sisley Paris, Macallan, Highland Park, MacLaren racing team and many more.
I still take on a small amount of clients outside of the hotel with many destination weddings and events.
My home is in the beautiful Deeside with my husband and our two beloved hounds.
