Althea Floral Design

You know I’m usually a bright color kind of guy, but I actually LOVED designing this white and blushy lady. She got to sit pretty on the bar at H+R’s wedding at the last weekend. 😍

✨ Cauldron in Chroma ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was SO excited when reached out about having a feature installation for their annual Blossom Reverie Fair in Ticonderoga, NY! The theme this year was rainbows and magic, so I created this floraly firey cauldron with magical whisps reaching out.

This design was made with 1,500 stems of silk flowers, reaches 8.5ft tall, and will be up in the town center for 8 weeks!

While I was installing, an older woman came up to me and said ‘this is the prettiest thing our lil town has seen in years’ which made my heart feel like it was going to burst. 🥹🥹 Public installations continue to be my favorite work I do because of what a joy it brings to every day people. ❤️

Thank you SO much to for having me, for capturing these photos of my installation, and my friends at for supporting me in my welding needs!!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!! Here is me being visible in all my transness! 🏳️‍⚧️
Like a hydrangea that changes color with the ph of the soil, my gender tends to bounce around based on context, season, and mood. For this reason I identify as nonbinary, and generally have a hard time connecting with both/either man or woman and feel like some nebulous in-between thing most of the time.

If you have trans people in your life, tell them you love them today. Many of us have gotten so tired sharing all the constant bad news about losing trans rights and access to healthcare, but I assure you it’s happening. For example, if I lived in Kansas, my driver’s license would be currently rendered invalid because it does not match the s*x I was assigned at birth. 😰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s the world we’re living in, so if you support the trans community, shout it from the rooftops!! ✨💕
