🌿 Regeneration 🌿
I’m thrilled to share my design from this year’s Hoogstraten in groenten & bloemen—my third year participating in this incredible event, guided by the brilliant @tom_de_houwer . His BloomUp Masterclasd has truly opened new doors for me, shaping my journey as a floral designer.
This year, my theme is Regeneration. Just as a fallen tree feeds the forest floor, giving life to new growth, I aim to breathe new energy into botanical materials. Each piece I create is a humble tribute to nature’s inherent magic—because while we can reinterpret it, we can never truly improve it.
A huge thank you to the amazing organizers, volunteers, and sponsors who make this event a reality. Your dedication and support mean the world. 🌸✨
Thank you @crauwelspeersbvba , @ansuvanda and Special fruit!

Here is my design for this year’s @artinbloom.dc . I chose to interpret Study of Two Pages by Artist José Villegas which was created in 1882. The juxtaposition of the two figures drew me in, even though I believe that both were a study for a solitary figure painting. As for the color palette, it one that I go to often, and I need to remind myself at times to try to get out of my comfort zone. This design was mostly made from several other designs that I completely broke down and reused. Recycle, reuse and reimagine! #artinterpretation #artinbloomdc #emcdesigner #minimalism #dowhatyoulove #floralartist #floralarts
A look at the last posted arrangement on the design table. I hope this gives a better sense of the depth and flow of the design.

Enjoyed going to Mobach Keramieks today in Utrecht. It’s definitely a candy shop for floral designers. Perfect way to spend some time (and money) on a dreary, rainy day.

My wonky star design for my parents house for Christmas. I made the star last year from @flower.thinking ‘s festive thinking course online. I had left it here last year to use this year, and really glad I did. Two single pink mink protea bunches from Trader Joe’s and voila a minimal Christmas design. Merry Christmas!
