The Inspiration
These built-in oak bookcases hold volumes from the Andersons’ extensive collection of books, including classical and contemporary literature as well as nonfiction works on history, politics, art, and travel.
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: My piece is inspired by the bookshelves in the library and my love of reading and flowers and their timeless appeal. The piece will reflect the linear quality of the books and shelves along with the colors of the books.
THE DESIGNER
Jolie Joswick
Uncloudy Studio
I was once told by an art teacher that I had an obvious sympathy for vegetation.
My passion for floral design began over twenty years ago in a greenhouse in a small Michigan town, traveled through the mountains of Colorado and Arizona, to the beaches of Southern California, settling in Washington, DC. An education in graphic design has helped to sharpen my attention to detail and given me an eye for color and composition.
I find inspiration from all growing things, in the beauty and texture of flowers, fruits, herbs and foliage. I’m fascinated with color and delight in combining the unexpected, foraging for the new and unusual, finding grasses, branches or berries on a walk with my daughter and dreaming of ways I can use them in my next design. I love all things lush, vintage, organic and natural. I enjoy spending personal time with each of my clients, getting to know them and their vision and bringing it to life with flowers.
