Art in Bloom 2026
Thank you St. Louis Art Museum for the opportunity to participate in the 20th celebration of Art in Bloom. This is my sixth Art in Bloom! And, many thanks to the amazing Suzy Gorman for visiting me during installation and taking these photos.
Dame Magdalene Odundo’s work is the female form personified in ceramic. I used female forward flowers like anthurium, orchids, roses, and calla lilies to accentuate the delicate curvature in Odundo’s vase.
By the way, was featured in last year and the .anderson Spring 2026 runway collection was inspired by her ceramics. Her work is featured in galleries and museums worldwide. We are fortunate to have one of her pieces at the St. Louis Art Museum.
I’m always blown away at the caliber of design talent that is on display during Art in Bloom. The event runs through tomorrow at SLAM - it’s free to all just as our world class art museum is everyday. We live in a culturally rich city filled with people who appreciate and continually support the arts.
Enjoy the art and flowers, friends!
