Another wonderful year, with breathtaking designs. Our biennial event at the Montclair Art Museum is, once again, a triumph with well over half the designs created by our own members.
CLICK HERE for a PDF showing each entry together with the piece of art that inspired it as well as the fascinating thought processes of each designer. This document uses the exciting photographs of Andy Foster to give you a sense of the harmony between art and floral design. It's better to look at it on a laptop or IPad rather than a phone to ensure that you see all the details..
For those of us who just want to savor our members' designs, see the photos below, in no particular order. Click on one to bring up a slideshow. Each is captioned with the name of the designer.
