Pressed Flower Art
Welcome! I'm Lucia.
My career has been in education, and I absolutely love helping students of all ages find new ways to think, create, and connect. When I’m not in a classroom, you’ll probably find me in gardens, meadows and ditches, looking for interesting plants to preserve and use in my art. I started Four Season Florals to share my products, services, and classes that all celebrate nature as a way to express creativity!

Bouquet & Garden Preservation
FROM THIS...
TO THIS...
AND THIS...
One thing I love about pressing flowers is the ability to take something that might bring temporary joy and transform it into art that can be appreciated for years to come.
​
Whether you have arrangements from a wedding or funeral, or a garden in bloom, I would be honored to work with you to press, preserve, and arrange them to create art for you and your loved ones.
