Day three in Paris, and we spent the day drawing at L’Arrosoir, the oldest flower shop in the city.

Six people, the same buckets of flowers, the same morning light. And not one drawing looked like another.

That is the quiet theory running through this whole retreat.

Every one of us is working towards a drawing style that is unique to us. Not by copying someone else’s way of making marks, but by learning to see clearly and then trusting our own hand.

The flower shop tested that beautifully. So much colour and detail that it’s easy to freeze. So we leaned on yesterday’s lesson from the Petit Palais: big shapes first, the spaces between the stems, the petals last. Block it in, then get stuck in. Don’t wait to feel ready.

And once the structure is in place, something interesting happens.

Each person’s choices start to show. One reaches for bold colour, another for delicate line, another for loose, expressive washes.

The method is shared, but the voice is entirely their own.

That’s what I love most about teaching this way. The foundations give you freedom.

Bookings for the Paris retreat in 2027 are now open. DM me for more information…

In April of this year, FLEURS was published by @hachetteus in the USA. It’s a totally new concept: A recipe book for bouquets. For an entire year, I worked on Fleurs with author @adrienneryser photographing the most beautiful blooms each season. Photographing over 50 different bouquets and arrangements, there are over 100 photographs in the book and all of them are mine (minus a few oldies!).

It’s a project that I’m extremely proud of as it pushed me creatively and professionally in a way I hadn’t been pushed in years. What an absolute joy to be an artist and discover new things ❤️❤️

Fleurs is celebrating its 6 month anniversary and Adrienne is book touring currently in California. It’s amazing to look back and see where we started, all of the work we put into each bouquet, running around like maniacs at Rungis, photographing all over Paris, in antique shops, outside, in metro stations, and of course at @larrosoirparis . This is the sort of project that I would love to have again.

If you comment FLEURS I’ll send you the link to it. Fleurs is available in the US through every major bookstore, and in France at L’Arrosoir (Paris, 11ème), the oldest flower shop in Paris.

Happy half-birthday Fleurs!

PS Here are a few of my favorite shots in the book, enjoy!

While I was away for almost half a month in September, I found myself thousands of miles away in Paris 🇫🇷✨ This time, I was so delighted to join a flower workshop at one of Paris’s oldest flower shops, @larrosoirparis 💖💐 Bringing home a little piece of Parisian floral artistry, and falling in love with flowers all over again. 🥰🌸

@larrosoirparis has operated as a flower shop at the exact location for over 100 years. Learning and knowing about the story of this place indeed amazed and inspired me. 🥰

I really love how the Parisian love flowers as it is. No fancy wrapping, just focus on the arrangement of flowers: the color, the shape, the line…

It’s never about creating the perfect type of bouquet as it never existed. Each of the flower creation is unique and not-replicable 💗

Still loving this journey! And the flower road that have led me to who I am today. 🫶🏻

L’Art de Vivre | The Art of Living 🌸

There is something so beautiful about the French way of making everyday moments feel special. Flowers, like so many simple pleasures are meant to be enjoyed every day.

We were delighted to welcome Adrienne Ryser to Chateau Sonoma for a book signing and an afternoon of flower arranging inspired by the French art de vivre. As the owner of Paris’s oldest flower shop, Adrienne brings a deep appreciation for the beauty and joy flowers can bring to everyday life. Her beautiful book, Fleurs is available in our shop.

A special thank-you to Misty at Flower Farm Sonoma for providing the fresh, locally grown blooms that made the afternoon so beautiful.

Bringing a little French inspiration to Wine Country. 🇫🇷

A perfect day in the garden, gathered with wonderful women and learning from the lovely Adrienne how to make the perfect French bouquet using her beautiful French technique. Thank you, Adrienne, for sharing your talent and making the afternoon so special. Adrienne is the florist behind L’Arrosoir, her beloved flower shop in Paris, and the author of Fleurs—a gorgeous invitation to bring a little French floral inspiration into our own homes. If you loved learning from her, you’ll love discovering even more of her approach in the book. And thank you to @floral_and_feast for the gorgeous charcuterie boards that made our gathering even more of a feast.

A special thank-you to Ann, Monique, and Jackie for all your help with the preparation and setup. It was such a pleasure to catch up with dear friends—including Karen Lott, whom I can hardly believe I’ve known for 35 years!

And there was extra reason to celebrate: congratulations to Adrienne and her darling husband on the wonderful news that twins are on the way. She is going to be a fabulous twin mom, and her sweet little boy will be the best big brother. The garden was full of flowers, friendship, and happy news. What a lovely day. Books are available at all four shops.

A little front-window flower arranging, inspired by Adrian’s “thrill, spill, and fill” approach and a reminder to follow your intuition.

Find the focal flowers, let a little movement spill over, then fill in with texture and blooms. 🌿
