The Artistry of Flowers by Gabriela Salazar

The Artistry of Flowers encourages us to live with flowers and to appreciate their beauty in the same way we appreciate fine art. By exploring different shapes, colors, and textures, celebrated floral designer Gabriela Salazar teaches us how to understand flowers and their living, transitory nature.

Drawing on her painting background, Salazar looks at floral arrangements as compositions. She highlights which types of blooms are best for different designs and shares building blocks for floral designs ranging from simple and sculptural to complex and colorful, including arrangements for any mood and different decor. Salazar inspires us to explore our creativity, empowering us to design our own arrangements.
