I am truly at a loss for words, seeing something that has lived in my head for so long finally come to life at the ’s Flora in Winter feels like a dream.

This piece is deeply inspired by 's stunning “Wall at WAM” mural, and I wanted to create something that felt like stepping into a fairy garden, where the colors; soft pinks, whites, blues, and earthy browns, mirror the beauty of her work. After reading about her process, the symbolism behind her piece, and the emotions it evokes, I felt such a profound admiration for her and knew I wanted to honor her vision in my own way.

This moment wouldn’t have been possible without my unbelievable support system. To my mom, dad, and Shannon - installing this beast together was nothing short of magic, and you all make playing with flowers even more joyful. A special shout out to my dad, who spent his birthday helping install this piece. It meant the world to have you there making this vision a reality with us. There are no words to express how much I love and appreciate you all. To my siblings, my boyfriend, and my in-laws - you are the foundation of Sam’s Stems, and I am endlessly grateful for all you do.

A huge thank you to the Worcester Art Museum for trusting Sam’s Stems to be part of Flora in Winter for the very first time, and to the incredibly talented for believing in me and connecting me with the amazing team behind it all.

So much love, energy, and passion went into this piece, and I cannot wait for you all to see it. If you visit Flora in Winter, please tag me, I would love to see your photos and hear your thoughts! ✨🌿🎨
