Hi, my name is Lori, and I’m an avid gardener with a specialty in pollinator habitat – which means I grow both host plants and nectar flowers specifically for butterflies and bees. My goal is to create a healthy habitat so pollinators can thrive in the wild. I also help foster native butterflies in the summer months. My passion for pollinator gardening and flower preservation led me to botanical art and jewelry making.

All my work contains real flowers, botanicals, or other organics that I’ve preserved. I grow everything locally in my Cleveland area yard. I also use items I’ve foraged or been gifted and occasionally supplement with botanicals not native to Northeast Ohio.

I’m always experimenting so you will see my art change over time. Each piece can take up to several months starting from seed to final product. Just as no two flowers are exactly alike, every piece is truly one of a kind. Imperfections are part of the charm of something homegrown and handmade.

I strive to provide only quality materials using jewelry-grade resin, and lead-free, and nickel-free jewelry findings. I offer stainless steel chains that are durable, long-lasting, and highly resistant to rust and corrosion - a great choice for those with allergies or sensitivity to other metals.

You can find my work at Berry’s Blooms in Medina, Blended at Southpark Mall in Strongsville, Eclectic Cleveland in Lakewood, Forage and Feather in Aurora, and at The Rift Shop in Olmsted Falls, Ohio.

You can also find my jewelry at the Cleveland Botanical Garden gift store.
