Ash to Oak
Brief
I partnered with Ash to Oak in creating a piece of lament - it is comprised of a tablescape and floral sculpture in honor of the voices who deserve a seat at the table, as well as a purposeful place setting for Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor.
Avery shared the work with three Black friends, who each shared their reflections to this work on a blog post. We recognize the work left to do, the amount before us to learn, and the words remaining to listen to. Thank you, Avery, for using your platform to share the voices of Lanae, Alexis, and Sarah.
For Melissa and Kevin’s wedding in Upstate NYC, I worked with the bride to iron out design details leading up to the big day; on the day of, I managed florals, the tablescape, in addition to photographing the event. I wore many hats that day, and I wouldn’t want it any other way!

A summer dinner for 12, enjoyed in the front yard of a home in Capitol Hill. Wine was abundant, laughs were shared, and the night lingered long after the candles blew out.
