U. Where do you draw inspiration from when working with flowers?
S. My inspiration comes primarily from the flowers. Working with a fresh, seasonal product I select what is best quality and appeals to me at the flower market, and this changes daily
U. What is your design philosophy and where does your inspiration come from?
S. My inspiration comes primarily from the flowers. Working with a fresh, seasonal product I select what is best quality and appeals to me at the flower market, and this changes daily. When arranging, I have a strong emphasis on color and form.
The space, practically and aesthetically, I am working with will also dictate the final work.
