It’s been 5 years since I lost my mom on Mother’s Day. 💖
That day, I gained an angel who still guides me every day. 🌸✨

I pour all my love into creating these arrangements to celebrate every amazing mom out there — and to send love to everyone missing their mom today. 🤍💐

One of the living plants I included in my latest floral installation for at Bal Harbour Shops@balharbourshops is the pitcher plant (Nepenthes sp.)—and I’m completely fascinated by it. 🌿✨
The Nepenthes isn’t just visually stunning—it’s also a carnivorous plant, naturally designed to capture insects within its beautiful pitcher-shaped traps. Nature really is the ultimate designer.

A bit more about my latest project. For this year’s Fleurs de Villes annual show at Bal Harbour Shops, the theme was Flora — the goddess of flowers and spring — and I wanted to bring her to life through my own lens of Florida beauty.

My inspiration came straight from my neighborhood - Coconut Grove in the springtime. The old oaks draped in air plants and ferns. The wild, unorganized explosion of color. That effortless, untamed elegance that feels both natural and powerful.

But this is still Miami.

So I contrasted that organic abundance with the sensual glamour of the city’s nightlife. My Flora is not delicate — she is wild, sexy, and fabulous. She owns her femininity. She is rooted in nature but thrives in spotlight. She’s lush, dramatic, and unapologetically alive.

Ten years later, the opportunity to create something new for this exclusive property still exists

I am the happiest surrounded by plants! Thank you for the amazing pictures.

A new restaurant is opening soon in the heart of my neighborhood — Ava Coconut Grove — and it’s truly a masterpiece. ✨
Proud to have brought a touch of my aesthetic to this beautiful space. Can’t wait for everyone to experience it. 🤍🌿

Attention to detail at Ava Coconut Grove. The mistletoe fig ties the space together, making the seating area feel lively, cohesive, and inviting — almost like the plant’s colors are echoing out of the artwork.
