About: Italian Crepe Paper
There are only 3 factories in the world that make artist grade crepe paper for florals, and the absolute gold standard comes from our very own Italia! This paper comes in a vast assortment of colors and weights, stretching from between 250-500% it’s original size. This is what makes it possible to sculpt and manipulate the rather rigid medium into soft, supple and realistic petals and blooms. I strive to use only the highest quality materials in all my work, crafting florals that will last a lifetime, if cared for.

About me: Ciao! I’m Ren.
Though new to Florence (via Bend, OR), I am not new to the service of creating art for clients. As a multidisciplinary visual artist, I have expertise in several media and abundant experience working for clients, both private and commercial. For 11 years, I’ve been listening to amazing people describe their wishes and visions, trusting me to bring them to life. I understand the interplay between words and material, and have the confidence to deliver at or above expectations, because I am honest about my abilities and limitations, and I strive to blow my clients away.
Whether its a bridal bouquet, wall art, or giant floral installation for a shop window, I pay attention to detail and keep you in the loop during the process. I value my work and experience, and charge accordingly, but I am also able to work with most any budget - projects are totally scalable!
When I’m not buried in hot glue and Italian crepe paper, you can find me exploring this beautiful and inspiring Italian gem - eating all the pasta, drinking all the coffee, attending every flower show and garden tour, studying Italian, getting lost in the art galleries or losing myself at the opera or ballet - just living la dolce vita with my husband and teen daughter.
