In an invitation to expand and liberate your creative voice in floral design, Jenny Thomasson (AIFD, PFCI, EMC) generously unfolds her artistic process that has made her a rising star in the industry through 40+ beautifully shot compositions. The delicacy, intensity, and cyclical temporality of flowers mirror our deepest emotions -- making them a potent source of inspiration and innovation. In over 200 lustrous colour photos, Thomasson shares how she uses emotion to push the boundaries of contemporary floral design. Infused with hand-drawn conceptual sketches and notes, and incorporating a wide breadth of techniques, forms, and materials, this warmly personal guide offers an intimate insight into the evolution of a professional floral arrangement. Perishable Poetics is a beautifully photographed artwork as well as a radiant, invaluable creative resource for those who work in, are inspired by, or are finding their voice in floral design.

Jenny Thomasson (AIFD, PFCI, EMC) has a passion for pushing the boundaries of American floristry and promoting the art form in a fresh way. She speaks and teaches nationwide and runs the award-winning Stems Florist in St. Louis.

"More than just a picture book about pretty flowers (although those are always a welcome read), Perishable Poetics is a visual representation of just how much of an impact nature can have on our emotional wellbeing. American floral artist Jenny Thomasson pushes the boundaries of modern botanical design with awe-inspiring photography that shows not only the seasonal, temporal nature of plants and flowers but their fragility, their mood-boosting benefits and their creative beauty. Thomasson has included some of her own personal hand-drawn sketches and notes showing her process through each design. This is a gentle, thought-provoking and ultimately uplifting volume that will feed the soul." -- Scottish Interiors July 2020
