We are excited to announce that we will be an exhibiting artist this March for Art in Bloom 2026 at The Westmoreland Museum of American Art! For those of you who have never heard of this show before - "Art In Bloom" is an exhibition in which floral designers are invited to recreate an artwork out of flowers, foliage, and botanicals. These floral sculptures are then displayed with the original artwork for attendees to view side by side.
Our inspiration piece this year (see image to left) is titled "Pittsburgh Aglow" (c. 1915) by A. (Annie) Campbell. This will be our 3rd consecutive year as a floral artist at this event since its relaunch in 2024. This event is really special to me for a few reasons. On a personal note - galleries are my second home. Outside of floral I have a history as an art gallery manager, exhibiting painter, and musician. My experience working/exhibiting/performing in art galleries is one of the main reasons I decided to name our floral design studio Galleria Botanica! Secondly, meeting all the insanely talented florists in Pittsburgh is an amazing (and humbling) experience. I have met designers that are just starting their companies and veterans of the industry who have been floral designers for decades. Every single one of them has something to teach - a smart technique I've never thought of, an approach to their business, or even a personal philosophy. Last, but most importantly - I absolutely love to connect with all the attendees and answer questions they have about our process. It's a privilege to see people engaged and inspired by your work. If you catch one of the designers walking around and want to make our day - ask us about our upcoming workshops, events, or other ways you can support our small local businesses. We are really looking forward to connecting with you all and reimagining this lively Pittsburgh cityscape. See you there!
ART IN BLOOM 2026 exhibition runs March 25th-29th. For tickets or more information visit The Westmoreland Museum of American Art's website.
