Reviews
"It's always a treat to see how her imagination and artist's eye will render bits of floral material that most of us wouldn't give a second glance into true works of art."
--Flower Magazine
"Collins' book is open ended but decorated with whimsical images of flora and fauna."
--Seattle's Child "Bridget Beth Collins uses flower petals that she finds in her neighborhood, her garden, and the forest to make art."
--The Stranger "Flower fans and nature enthusiasts will fall in love with this charming art book from Instagram sensation Flora Forager."
--Seattle Refined "The Art of Flora Forager is endlessly cool and filled with everything from peacocks to foraged versions of art masters like Van Gogh's Starry Night."
--Zavvi Rodaine "This interest in softly modeled three-dimensional collages is really revealing to me, because I think it helps to explain why Flora Forager's representational collages are so delightful and impactful: the three-dimensional forms and fresh flowers create a sense of plausibility and give a lively presence to something that might not actually exist in reality."
--Alberti's Window "Flower fans and nature enthusiasts will fall in love with this charming art book from Instagram sensation Flora Forager, featuring the best of her unique botanical composition."
