Safflowers

Welcome to Safflowers, a unique on-line floral boutique and studio, and a dream that has taken years to cultivate. I have fond memories of growing up with drawing, sketching with pen and ink, painting with watercolors, and writing, activities that Ive always found to be calming and rejuvenating. Its no surprise that creating flower arrangements bec... ame a natural extension of these childhood pursuits. Creating floral design is art with living materials. The importance of floral groupingsa specific balancethe overall shape, mass, and depth of floral arrangement that is exhilarating and breathtaking! Safflowers as a company evolved from this innate desire to create. My creativity has been nurtured through Phipps Conservatory Floral Design Program certification, as well as Ikebana study under Reiko Nakajimas guidance, part of Phipps Garden Centers Sogetsu Study Group. While working at Hepatica in Pittsburgh, I learned operation of a first-rate floral shop. I continue to study with Masters of Floral Design as opportunities allow, as continuous education and growth is so vital in business development. I have always found that my most rewarding times were spent working creatively with others and watching the fruits of our labor evolve. After all, this connection to our memories and personal relationships is what offers us happiness and contentment. I look forward to partnering with you soon on your next artistic event!Read More
