Art in Bloom

this year's Art in Bloom at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts was another one full of inspiration for me.  what an incredibly brilliant concept.  a four-day event highlighting floral artists who share their fresh floral interpretations of art pieces that have inspired them.  a delightful way to welcome spring with friends, family and the community!

my fourth year participating.  and finally...the sweet, darling piece i've been dreaming about!





a favorite of ours this year!!  koi fish to celebrate this year's japanese theme.


more photos from this year's event...enjoy!
