About Em:

An artist from the Pacific Northwest, Em carries a vast interest and passion for all of the fine arts, with an emphasis on contemporary art, musical theatre, and floral design! She is 28 years old and lives in Wilsonville, OR with her wonderful partner and golden retriever, Huckleberry.

Em started her floral journey at Sammy’s Flowers in Portland, OR in a seasonal position, which she ultimately left to travel abroad. After returning, she has found a second home at Zupan’s Markets, and for the last two years she has been honing her floral skills under fabulous mentorship, working as a shop associate, designer, & lead floral processor. Em eagerly began the floral design program at The New York Institute of Art and Design to help develop a stronger skill set and deeper knowledge of floristry, with hopes to ultimately land her dream position as a lead designer.

Em has also been active in the professional theatre community in Portland, performing in musical productions such as West Side Story and Cabaret. She made her on screen debut in the award winning short film Linea, Directed by filmmaker Will Cuddy, which she received Best Actress in the Portland Comedy Film Festival. She devotes her free time to creating mixed media art, such as collages, heavily influenced by the Pop Art of Andy Warhol. She is also an avid collector of all things vintage, from concert tees, vinyl and Coca-Cola Trays, to board games, books and Barbie Dolls.

Em’s passion project is a combination of pop art, floral design, and vintage collectibles, titled Factory Fleur (You can follow the Instagram account @factoryfleur). She plans to one day open her own Factory Fleur floral shop/gallery/boutique!

Em is enthusiastically dedicated to creating beauty & art to brighten people’s life.
