Custom Projects
Please Note: Bespoke projects can take up to 8 weeks depending on the specimen’s unique pressing time needs and the complexity of creating the subsequent artwork.
Flower Preservation + Symbolic Gifting
Through preservation, I transform meaningful blooms - wedding bouquets, memorial arrangements, or flowers from a cherished moment - into lasting botanical artworks that hold memory in every petal.
In symbolic gifting, I create bespoke pieces that honor names, stories, and sentiments - like a single pressed Violet for a newborn named Violet, or a bloom chosen to reflect a feeling, a sentiment, reflect a friendship, milestone or wish. Each pieces is crafted with intention, turning nature’s ephemera into heirlooms of emotion and meaning.
For Violet
This custom pressing was created as a gift for a newborn girl named Violet - a delicate tribute from a dear friend to mark her arrival. Pressed with care, it honors both her name and the beauty she brings to the world.

Goldenrod, Phlox and Verbena--three humble specimens once nestled around a family pool where summers unfolded in laugher and cousin-filled joy. This quiet composition, with it's intentional labeling and tender naming, honors those sunlit memories. "Nonnie's Garden" is more than a title-- it's a tribute to familial love, rooted in ritual and blooming with remembrance. A garden remembered, a friendship pressed in time. This custom Dahlia pressing was commissioned by two neighbors as a farewell gift for a beloved friend moving from her longtime home. Crafted from Dahlia's she tended with care, it holds the memory of her garden, her house, and the love that grew between neighbors. 
This Hickory pressing was created at the behest of a client who was to lose a beloved Hickory tree. She brought us these small branches and leaves--fragments of memories under its canopy--and we set out to preserve them with care. The resulting composition honors the tree's vitality, arranged with a sense of movement and spirit that reflects its enduring presence. A simple mat was added to frame the piece and invite quiet focus, transforming memory into art. Herbarium Pressings
We offer bespoke herbarium-style pressings—botanical artworks created using the centuries-old practice of preserving plants by traditional pressing methods used by scientists and gardeners to study and archive flora, herbarium pressings now serve as a beautiful way to honor the plants that shape our personal landscapes.
Whether it’s a beloved perennial, a seasonal bloom, or a specimen with deep personal significance, we gather botanicals from your own home garden and preserve them using time-honored techniques. Each custom piece is composed with care, replicating the scientific method of preservation, and labeled, transforming the quiet beauty of your surroundings into lasting art—an archival keepsake of place, memory and the rhythms of nature.
Each Herbarium piece is composed on official herbarium paper purchased through the same resource that scientists use.
