Sankofa ( SAHN-koh-fah )

Shelby (she/they) is a florist and artist living in West Oak Lane with her partner ( + 7 y.o. greyhound, Cricket + 2 mischievous orange cats, Fig + Steamboat Willie ). using her background in abstract painting and love for horticulture, her goal when designing is to create bold designs that seem to breath, as if found in their natural habitat. guided by music and history, her designs find a balance of dramatics + simplicity, edge + flexibility.

it’s important to her that the energy she pours into her work is full + lush + honest so that when they reach their destination they bring nothing but joy. after all, to her? flowers, short-lived + special, are some of the most perfect examples of abundance we have. life is short, yeah? gift some flowers.✌🏾
