The Artist
{It started in the garden….}
Spring and summer were always my favorite seasons. I spent many of those days gardening with my father. It was fascinating ~ exploring a rich world of different colors, textures, fragrances. That is where I fell in love with flowers…
Little did I know at such a young age that flowers were my destiny. I was often referred to as an artist growing up; always drawing, painting, creating in some capacity. It wasn’t till my first job as a designer in a local florist when I discovered my true passion.
While working to obtain my business degree, I continued to design flowers. Now with a profound passion for nature and an inherited instinct for design, I decided to pursue a floral design career in New York City.
For the past decade I have been mastering my skills, learning from some of the most reputable event and design boutiques in New York City. Every experience has exposed me to various arts, culture, and design that I am truly grateful for. Till this day nothing is more fulfilling than transforming the beauty of nature into a creative work of art.
Over the past 5 years my design repertoire has been evolving, with the addition of jewelry design. This is a craft that has allowed me to explore a different world of color, texture, and imagination. My one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry brings a new division of design to what is now AvaFlora.
Positive energy, innovation, and great aesthetic sensibilities are the elements that help create my artistry.
This is the foundation of AvaFlora; the energy and the soul….feel free to make contact.
