A note from today’s featured artist:
“I’ve been sharing flowers with people for the last 20 years. I’m committed to using locally grown blooms whenever possible and hope to be a bridge between the everyday flower lover and our local flower farmers here in Spokane Washington and wherever else the blooms take me. 
During college I started taking classes, working in flower shops, and learning from a myriad of talented designers. Eventually, I had my own successful floral event company while raising babies and helping support my husband through medical school because even a full plate looks better with some flowers. 
Over the years I became curious about what else I could make with flowers. This led me to designing large scale flower art. The process was so compelling that I decided to capture it on film and share it in the series Follow The Blooms now streaming on the Bloom TV Network. 
Flowers are a funny thing, right? On one hand they grow right out of the dirt, even from cracks in the cement. On the other hand, they are a luxury item that many do not have access to or simply can’t afford, especially curated large-scale flower design. I hope to change that and help more people experience the beauty and joy of flowers as art. 
I love creating with flowers and am excited to see where the Flowers for People story goes next. I’d like to be a part of the ongoing flower conversation with those who craft and share it… one stem at a time.” - Katie Lila
