I
I love making collages out of images that interest me from magazines. This is made with photos and pastel.

Succulents
Why are succulents so widely used in California? They are drought tolerant, colorful, amazing for the eye to see and they continue to sprout new plants. This arrangement will explode within a year, spilling over and up a wonderland of texture and life.
“Make it Bright”, She Said
My client lost her husband last year and asked me to create something bright and uplifting for her front door.
I incorporated this harlequin ribbon and colorful ornaments to spice up her mood.
Wreath
Velvet ribbon, snowy branches, winter berries, magnolia blooms, hydrangeas and shinny ornaments fill this fresh oversized wreath.

Bel Air Residence
Bel Ai
I spent the afternoon working with my dear friend Heidi Santschi at her client’s residence in Bel Air last month. Every year we deck this European cast iron urn with Christmas splendor! You can see more of Heidi’s Landscape Design projects here: http://www.hsgardeness.com
Front Door
Working Around the Entrance
I was so excited to find a golden trumpet. What a great place to feature it. This home in the Palisades belongs to a famous musical family and I was really excited that I could incorporate this interests in the decorations.
An Artist’s Home
Here I am adding ribbon to the fresh garland mixed with Magnolia leaves. The pointsettia anchors the living room with a splash of color, just enough to play off Santa’s red coat across the room.
Skylar’s Mantel
Opposite the tree is an angel and her cheerful decorations.
