what we do:

HANDCRAFTED PAPER BOTANICALS

We believe in the value of one of a kind pieces made by hand as our world moves steadily into mass production.

We have a passion for nature and paper and finding the line where these two things can meet and come together.

OUR MANIFESTO

hi, I'm emily and I'M SO HAPPY THAT you're here.

I'm a botanical artist and educator living and working in Washington, DC.

I've always loved all things botanical but couldn't keep a plant alive to save my life.

I came to paper flowers in an unusual way.

PAPER FLOWERS SAVED MY LIFE.

A dramatic but true statement.

After the birth of my oldest child, I was desperate for an outlet that had nothing to do with my new role as a mother. I was merely existing and flailing in the depths of postpartum depression. In my darkest hour, I needed something to hold onto and making paper flowers in the floor of a nursery ended up being it. I made a paper flower every day for a year. It became a ritual. The ultimate self care. I had finally found light amongst the darkness.

I'm a one woman show.
