Her texts on design and floral and botanical arrangements have appeared in books, magazines and websites all around the world. As a specialized stylist, her dreamy creations—using flowers, leaves, fruit and branches—for countless events can be seen throughout the country.

Amy Merrick draws her inspiration from the movement and poetry inherent in botany, that which can be found in natural landscapes, and uses local and seasonal materials. Her still life creations are ethereal and ephemeral works of art that convey either pictorial complexity, or serenity, enduring the passing of time through the subtle perceptions engraved in viewers’ senses.

Her personal signature can be found in every one of her projects, all of them artisanal creations, delicately crafted from the standpoint of her knowledge and experience—despite her apparent youth. She treats each branch and flower she uses with respect and creativity when reaping her floral inspiration, yielding both simple and complex, intriguing, dreamlike creations.
