The story so far

  • What Kay does

    Creates art from flowers so they last longer than a week in a vase.

  • How it started

    After lockdown in 2020, my husband and I moved from the city to a lifestyle block near Waimauku, north of Auckland to live a more sustainable life.

     

    I set about transforming a paddock on the property from mud into a wildflower patch primarily to add colour and attract pollinators.

     

    Wanting to keep the beautiful bright blooms longer than a week in a vase I started experimenting with pressing and drying the flowers.

     

  • The journey

    Using the flowers and other botanicals from my garden or found locally, I now create my art in a recently renovated studio barn on the property.

     

    Starting with one small flower press to make frames for family and friends, there are now numerous presses ensuring a constant supply of flowers to create the artwork.

     

    Moving to the lifestyle block has rekindled an energy and passion for flowers and a creative path that has been lying dormant for many years.

     

    I hope you enjoy the creations
