Let me tell you about myself and my business...
My story
I’m Maha, and I am so excited you are here! I am the founder, owner, designer, flower dryer, resin artist, packer, shipper, and bookkeeper! I started this business by myself in the beautiful mountains of Santa Fe, New Mexico. My education background is in business management and mathematics education. I’ve been teaching math since 2015, and I absolutely love it. Creating art was just a hobby and side job until I became more and more obsessed with resin art. Then I decided to turn it into a full-on business.
Art has always been in my blood… anything from sketching portraits and abstract art to 3D sculptures and mixed media art. I’ve been fortunate enough to be surrounded by natural art, including the ocean sunsets of San Diego and the mountain sunrises of New Mexico, all of which have helped inspire my work.
My journey with bouquet preservation started as an exploration with resin art. After creating functional art pieces with resin, I decided to venture into preserving flowers in resin. I found myself noticing all of the different flowers and greenery around me...even at the parking lot of the grocery store! I keep a pair of scissors and a box in my car in case I find flowers I love while out and about.
Why work with us?
Transparency, honesty, and communication are the keys to our business. We will keep you informed throughout the entire preservation process and send you photo updates also (unless you’d prefer for it to be a surprise). From your first message up until we ship your keepsakes to you, we will always respond to you within a timely manner. If we don’t think something is going to work, we will let you know ahead of time and offer other options. If the centerpiece of your bouquet arrives in poor condition, we will go above and beyond to try to find a replica.
Our experience and using high-quality, non-toxic products is what sets us apart from other artists. We have run many, many tests to find the best products, including resins and recyclable materials.
Unlike other bouquet preservation artists, we only take on orders that we can handle. Ensuring each piece we create is perfect means more to us than taking on a massive number of orders and holding onto your flowers for months and months at a time. We dedicate time to all of the small and big details...from deconstructing your bouquet to trying to perfect any imperfections.
After you have put so much time and effort into planning your special day, please give us the opportunity to put our heart and soul into preserving your special flowers.
