About The Artist

I grew up outside of Philadelphia, PA., and spent summers at the Jersey Shore. There my love for the beach life began. Then I lived in Chicago for fifteen years, where I was working in the jewelry business, in various positions form retail to wholesale manufacturing. One day, I thought it might be fun to work with flowers, so started a part time job at A New Leaf. It was just about the coolest shop in which anyone could hope to learn. There were a bunch of freaky artists, each bringing their own style to their work. I loved it so much that I transitioned from working with jewelry to flowers. After 15 long Chicago winters, the beach was calling me, (sorry Lake Michigan, you’re not quite the same), I made the move to Naples, honed my floral craft some more, and eventually started Focus Floral.

Originally, I only serviced events and weddings. When Covid hit, I pivoted to include retail/deliveries.
Currently, I’m pleased to be in the Naples Art District, where I am bringing a combination of my skills, and loves together.

Here, I focus on flowers, faux florals, dressed orchids, jewelry, home decor and art.
