Carolynne grew up on the Isle of Wight, where her love of flowers and plant material first began. After attending the Constance Spry School of Floristry in London, she moved to West Sussex where she has been working as a freelance florist and floral designer from her workshop at home. She specialises in wedding flowers, designs floral art demonstrations, and taught flower arranging at the local art college until recently.

She has won many awards in floral art and was part of the Sussex NAFAS team who were awarded a Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2006.

Inspiration comes from exploring new areas, nature, interior design, gardens, all aspects of natural materials. With so many new and exciting innovations in floral art, and influences from around the world, Carolynne is longing to experiment and develop her skills in floral art. She collects and hoards all manner of "junk" and enjoys recycling discarded objects and creating original designs from them.

For many years it has been her dream to expand by introducing photography, art, creative workshops, and much more.
