Floral Inspirations

March 21, 2014

I had the chance to visit the de Young Museum in San Francisco a few days ago and caught their annual Bouquets to Art exhibit. Floral artists are paired with a work of art that is meant to inspire their arrangements. There were some incredible pieces – here are just a few I found noteworthy. Love the rosey-twiggy bird!

Ellie’s Spirals

Fun fact about the amazing Ellie Clarkson: not only was she an unrelenting Scrabble shark, but she also had a thing for spirals.
