Amy Catherine Cushing
Amy Cushing is the owner and lead designer of Catherine Lee Florals, located in Falls Church, Virginia. A former legislative aide who navigated the intricacies of the House Appropriations Committee for years, Cushing unexpectedly transitioned to botanical artistry. This newfound passion for floral design soon blossomed into Catherine Lee Florals, her Falls Church-based home-studio where she now crafts bespoke arrangements for weddings, events, and everyday moments.
Cushing’s designs are a vibrant testament to her playful and spunky personality. She masterfully blends lush color and texture, drawing inspiration from the natural world and local flowers, while infusing each piece with a palpable sense of joy and interest. Her background in the political arena, where precision and attention to detail were paramount, distinctly informs her artistic approach, resulting in compositions that are both captivating and meticulously crafted.
Beyond her floral pursuits, Cushing cherishes time spent with her husband and young daughter, often exploring outdoors with their beloved Sheepadoodle or cooking something for the entire family at home. She and her husband share a love for the art of bonsai cultivation, curating a collection of a dozen mature trees that reflect their appreciation for the intricate interplay of nature and human intervention. A lifelong musician, Cushing is also an accomplished flutist, having dedicated years to music before discovering an art form in flowers. These diverse interests inform and enrich Cushing’s artistic practice, adding significant depth and dimension to her floral creations.
