Welcome to bbrooks member, Ariella New York, as featured on www.flirtyfleurs.com.

“Ariella has developed a new vocabulary of floral design, one based almost entirely on the natural gesture of a plant and the way it grows in the garden. She’s inspired me (and a whole school of floral design) to avoid rigid perfection, and to rely more on cultivating an artist’s intimate eye on the world of flowers.” – Stephen Orr, Garden Editor, Martha Stewart Living
