Gina Campbell – Ritual GardensI am a freelance floral designer, gardener, and artist. My love for flowers began in early childhood. For me, there was no place more magical than my grandfather's gardens and greenhouses, tightly packed with as many flowers as I could imagine. Having a garden of my own to grow, cut and arrange flowers turned a love into an obsession. I've considered myself an artist my entire life, paint being my primary medium. My approach to floral design is to create a living still life using the same principles I consider in a painting: color, texture, movement and balance. Social Media: IG: @ritualgardens_indy |

Samantha Howden – Petals from KayeMy journey as a floral designer began more recently than some. My mother passed away and I found so much comfort in the flowers from her funeral. I appreciated them and found that I had a talent that not all have. I began researching, learning, and designing. I then opened a flower shop where I get to create arrangements for others. I love creating and designing floral pieces for all of life’s occasions. I enjoy using colors and textures to create beautiful pieces that will brighten someone’s day. I like the challenge of taking a vision or idea and making it come to life. I love being the middle man to spread kindness and allow others to enjoy the beauty of flowers.

Esmeralda Schill – Esmeralda Schill StudioNature and art have always been my main focus in my personal art. I preserve florals to give them an extended life of admiration. The floral designs I create are inspired by landscaping creations I have seen; resin allows those floral designs to last many years. One thing I love about resin preservation is the fact that I can transform florals into functional pieces such as tables making them functional art. I would love to create resin pieces inspired by one of the great masters I grew to love & teach. Social Media: IG: emeraldschillstudio FB: Emerald Studio |

Mallory Erbin – Designs by Mallory PaigeI created Designs by Mallory Paige in 2018 after realizing that art, floral design, and event design were at the intersection of all the things I am great at. I have found great meaning in the work I do, most significantly in its relation to beauty. I believe beauty is important and powerful because of its ability to open eyes and hearts to all the good, hopeful, lovely, wonderful things in the world. My design philosophy is rooted in imagination. The designs are the bridge between what is and what is to be. It is of the utmost importance to allow the poetic movement and natural beauty of the florals to lead the process. It is also our goal that the design forces observers to focus on the beauty of each element.

Rebekah Gross – Brut & BloomMy name is Rebekah Gross. I was born and raised in Indianapolis and have magical memories of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. After relocating from New York City to Nashville, I have never been so appreciative of my hometown and all the incredible things it has to offer. I spend many days in Indy with my loved ones and the IMA is the most special place there is. I have spent the last seven years of my career designing and executing large scale biophilia projects across the nation. I have an extensive background in event and experiential design. My floral design taste is inspired by artists like Lewis Miller and the Dutch masters paintings that hang on the walls in esteemed art museums like the IMA. Conceptualization + color are the roots of my creative fire. Floral design, as an inclusive art form, and encouraging others to tap into their internal creative is my passion. It is my belief that every human on this earth can relate to, appreciate, and enjoy biophilia and florals.

Allyson Wells Podel – Willow and Star FlowersIn 2017, I turned my love of growing and arranging flowers into a pop-up flower market. What started as a 4’ x 4’ mobile flower cart is now a full-service flower, plant, and gift shop located on the north side of Indianapolis in Northview Mall. At Willow and Star Flowers, we aim to uplift and connect people through the beauty of floral design. Our work is most inspired by the splendor found in nature and the idea that perfection can be found in imperfection. For design guidance, we turn to the wayward stems and whimsical blossoms discoverable in wildflower patches and lackadaisical gardens. By working closely with local flower farmers and showcasing seasonal, Indiana-grown blooms when available, our arrangements make an intentional nod to the spaces where flowers flourish freely.

Caylan Center – sunglobeI am inspired by my favorite painting, Roses of Heliogabalus. This piece by Lawrence Alma-Tadema celebrates divine excesses of pleasure and a lavish aesthetic. Heliogabalus depicts the opulent party thrown by a young emperor of Rome who looks on with amusement as the unknowing guests below are smothered by thousands of rose petals. Under the violent cascade of rose petals, a young man peers beneath the crushing weight while others are shown writhing among the petals in total ecstacy. To me, flowers are a celebration of life, luxurious abundance, and love. It is my hope that I can express through my work this dynamic to existing art.

Bria McCartyI have an affinity for the natural world and have had an intuitive relationship with growing things from a young age. After moving to Portland, Oregon in 2016 to live on an urban farm, I began working at Solabee Flowers & Botanicals. While there, I learned an extensive amount of plant knowledge and began floral designing under the tutelage of Alea Joy, Sarah Helmstetter, and Finley Jordan. In 2018 I was blessed to spend time working at Roselane Farms in Los Angeles where I learned how to grow roses. My favorite roses are Distant Drums! My floral design style closely mimics how flowers and greenery grow wild in nature. I like to prioritize color theory and utilize my background in film and music as inspiration for my arrangements. I am excited to come out of retirement for this fabulous event! Social Media: IG: @brianachele |

Katherine Martin – Duet FloralTo me, flowers are a form of communication. Even as a child, my experience with flowers was intertwined with my relationships. Some of my fondest memories include the weekly routine of picking out flowers with my mom at the grocery and growing sunflowers with my sisters in the backyard. Giving flowers can impart feelings of joy and celebration as well as condolences. Not only do flowers present an opportunity for visual impact, but they also help us build bones with those around us. As a floral designer and co-founder of Duet Floral Studio, I have the privilege of participating in some of the happiest moments in people's lives and the memories made in the moment. As a business, we strive to wow our audience with work inspired by nature, and our design style embraces bold colors. My keen understanding of color theory allows me to create visually striking and harmonious compositions. Social Media: IG: @duetfloral |

Kaitlyn Bookmeyer – Rooted Blooms, LLCI was formally trained as an art educator, with passions for ceramics, watercolor, and sharing these art forms with others. In 2018, entering into the world of floral design gave me the opportunity to combine my love for the physicality and tactility of ceramics with the more freeform, organic nature and color mixing elements of watercolor. Not only does floral design allow me to appreciate the artistry of working with the flowers themselves, but it provides me the privilege of sharing my work with others, stepping into a couple’s planning process and serving them on their wedding day. It is my great joy to help conceptualize a plan, to organize the details, and to bring that vision to life, arranging flowers in a way that brings honor to their day.

Jodi AleshireI have been working in floral arts since 2017, and in that time I have done the flowers for a handful of weddings and special events with a focus on unique combinations and unusual designs, but my magnum opus is the recreation of the gown from Ari Aster’s film MIDSOMMAR using both faux and dried flowers. Newfields is my happy place, and it is a dream to have my work included in Art in Bloom. |

Lisa Schmitz – Where Pigs Fly and SuchI have been in love with flowers for as long as I can remember. My grandmother was a master gardener and taught me about foraging for design even as a child. As a former corporate executive turned floral artist, I have enjoyed living a more creative lifestyle, incorporating nature and the whimsy of how flowers grow in nature into daily life and into my designs. I have enjoyed not only the arranging of florals, but also infusing them into other floral art mediums like plaster relief. My plaster botanical art was accepted into the 2022 Hoosier Women Artists display at the Indiana Statehouse. Social Media: IG: @wherepigsflyandsuch FB: Where Pigs Fly and Such |
