Hello
I'm Marianne, I'm an artist, photographer, author, floral designer and creative consultant working and living in South Yorkshire/Derbyshire.
​
With 13 years experience in the floral industry running my own wedding and event business, in 2023 I made the decision to move away from my business and follow my heart to pursue a more creative and connected artistic life.
​
My Story
My creative journey began in the arts, where I studied textiles, ceramics, photography, and sculpture, ultimately earning my Art and Design degree in 2012. While my foundation was in fine art, I unexpectedly found myself drawn to floristry—teaching myself both the craft and the business. I built a thriving floral business, embracing the British Flowers movement from its inception and championing the Grown Not Flown ethos, positioning myself as a leader in a rapidly evolving industry.
​
In 2022, I published Cut Flower Growing, a book that distilled over a decade of hands-on experience. Writing it was both a cathartic and pivotal moment in my career, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
​
After completing my final wedding commission at the end of 2024, I transitioned into a dynamic freelance career, spanning writing, photography, marketing, and floristry. My art practice continues to evolve alongside these projects, and I am always looking ahead—bringing creativity, expertise, and passion to every endeavor. I’d love to collaborate with those who value artistry, storytelling, and craftsmanship in their work.
