I envision a world where culture, color, and beauty are central to our collective flourishing. Through working with the medium of flowers, I’ve discovered how deeply the arts play a role in expanding our capacity for wonder and curiosity; and I’ve witnessed firsthand how flowers, as an artistic medium, embody these qualities. Not only do flowers capture the essence of culture, color, and beauty, but because nature serves as a co-regulator for our nervous systems, flowers also support the healing of our neural pathways and deepen our connection to the land. All of these realities inspire the work I do with Frida’s and how I choose to do it. And of course, to honor my rich Mexican heritage and childhood, I love to center Mexican design patterns and colors in my work.
