I very much love creating feathery, light and textured designs (which are a nightmare to photograph!). I love how these Astible flowers float above the wiry strands of Festuca 'Intense Blue'. We planted the Festuca in clear cube vases and then dotted turquoise vases with astilbe through the plants.

I have to say 'Ambience' is not one of my favourite varieties of Amaryllis. The first open flower has a habit of turning into a mushy mess before that last flower has even opened. However their red markings work well in this combination with rosehips.
It's all about texture with this design. My beloved green Hydrangea echo the texture of the vase and the contorted willow adds height and drama to the whole arrangement. This design is a little lost as a 2D translation.
This arrangement seems simple enough, but there was quite a bit of mechanics involved. Such a large vase would have been to heavy to lift, if filled to the top with water. However, the narrow neck of the vase would have allowed me to use only a small inner container, barely holding enough water to keep so many Sunflowers alive.
Instead, the Sunflowers were pushed through a rough ball-shape of chicken wire, the stems running down to the bulbous part of the vase, which was half-filled with water. If I had pushed the Pandanas leaves down to the water level, they would have hardly showed through the sunflowers and not created the dramatic effect I wanted.
The solution was to make small water bags for each Pandanas leaf and then tape it to a stick, which ran down inside the vase. This allowed me to exploit the full length of the leaf and create an arrangement that appears to burst out of the alcove
The return of the birdcage I bought in Colombia Road Flower Market. I created three tiers of hot pink Phalenopsis orchids within the cage. This took two attempts, as the cage toppled over first time and decimated a few plants!
It was important to put something substantial in the place of last week's huge design, as the return to a vase grouping would have been too much of a visual shock. Luckily the orchids inside the cage came back from another contract, allowing me to keep the budget under control.
It took a while to attach all the mango callas to the outside: I have observed the importance of rhythm from studying Daniel Ost's designs. The curves of the cage bars dictated how much I curved the calla lily stems.
Pink snowberries provide a little detail around the base of the cage and help link with the colour of the pink English Hydrangeas I have used throughout the rest of the hotel.
This nighttime urban scene in Kanazawa, Japan, captures the raw aesthetic of post-war Japanese architecture, blending functional design with a quiet, almost cinematic atmosphere. The stair-stepped apartment complex, illuminated by scattered interior lights, is a prime example of Japanese urban residential design—built with efficiency, space optimization, and structural resilience in mind. The building's stark, geometric facade is reminiscent of the late Showa-era architecture, where exposed staircases and stacked layouts maximized density in growing cityscapes.
The parking lot in the foreground, a staple of Japanese urban planning, features automated payment terminals and numbered slots, highlighting Japan’s meticulous approach to space management. The presence of luxury cars, including an Audi and a black sedan, suggests a well-maintained, perhaps newer, urban neighborhood.
In the background, a convenience store with its familiar bright signage acts as a beacon of everyday life, reinforcing the rhythm of Japanese city living. The interplay of artificial lights, shadows, and the muted tones of the concrete-clad structures creates a composition that feels both intimate and expansive. The warm glow of apartment windows against the dark sky adds a human touch, hinting at the lives unfolding inside.
This scene reflects the unspoken beauty of Japan’s urban environments, where architecture isn’t just about grandeur but about efficiency, adaptability, and everyday life. Whether in Tokyo, Osaka, or smaller cities like Kanazawa, these structures tell stories of resilience, routine, and the quiet poetry of city nights.

Me: There's you.
Mom: With a present. It must be from Daddy. By the way, I never liked that picture. The one on the wall. I think Daddy and I had a difficult time agreeing on pictures. He didn't like flowers and the apartment was very modern, and flowers wouldn't have gone with the décor. So this picture was picked out because it matched the colors in the room.
Me: And it eventually...
Mom: I think it came with us when we moved to Bellmore. I think it went in the den.
Me: But then Nanny had it. Or Aunt Millie.
Mom: My stuff always got recycled when I got rid of it.
Me: What didn't you like about the picture?
Mom: Well, the colors were harsh. It just wasn't me. Of course, I was young then, and I didn't know what was me. I just knew I didn't like it. You know, in the basement, I still have these cards that I pasted on pieces of wood that I painted. They were on our bathroom wall here.
Me: I remember seeing those.
Mom: And after I didn't use them, Nanny and Aunt Millie got them. I never could throw them out because I always liked them. Not like I'm ever going to hang them up again, though.

I was asked to use green hydrangea and pink roses in the Events area this week. Roses are small and expensive, which is why I hardly ever use them in large spaces.
Here I created small hand ties and left the stems long, so that the combination of a grouped flowers with long stem would have impact, if repeated several times. This is a very regimented design, but I actually like it more than I thought I would. It is a look that I use as a kind of default if lacking in inspiration!
The Living Room
My Home is where my heart is. Everyone may know me as a contemporary artist - I am, but this is where I spend the bulk of my time.
My partner David and I have transformed this place; tearing off half of it, adding on, filling it with the wonderful objects and art that inspire and bring more meaning to our lives.
I'm just playing around with the settings on my new camera for the most part. And having lots of fun doing it!
The request was for white hydrangea to be used throughout the hotel this week. When they arrived from the supplier, I was dismayed at how tiny they were.
I was busy with shooting Christmas for the hotel, so I chose a few vases I thought would work and left it to my colleague to create the look. Some areas did not have their usual impact, while in other areas, the simplicity worked well.
These Lupins were destined for the Blue Lounge (where we placed Nigella) but as soon as I saw them next to texture of the sofa and the dress painting, I knew this was their perfect home.
I had some cyclamen plants for this area, but I was unsure what kind of display I wanted to create. I spotted the bench in the gardeners' nursery a while ago and knew I wanted to use it one day. The crab apples and hydrangeas were the ones I removed from the display in the main reception the previous week. The hydrangeas were left hanging upside down to dry in our work room, before being tied into a garland.
Suddenly it all came together and is often the way, spontaneous displays that involve a degree of recycling are surprisingly successful.

In the bar area, we used whole white-dipped Birch, which were secured to the pillars with cable ties. The branches were hung with 1000 mirror card gift tags, which were printed with logos from the Grove's Christmas marketing graphics. They shimmer in the breeze from the air conditioning vents.
These ceramic vases suggested a simple design to me. Hand-ties of Gypsophila (or Baby's Breath) were a good way of creating some volume quite cheaply (I would not have been able to use so many vases, had I chosen more expensive Hydrangea, for example).
It isn't the easiest flower from which to make a compact dome, so we had to do a little 'hairdressing' to get them looking even.
