Local Santa Cruz Florist to Showcase Floral Design Alongside Monet's Masterpiece

San Francisco's Legion of Honor museum will feature a unique floral interpretation by Flower Bar Design Studio during its upcoming Bouquets to Art exhibition, celebrating the museum's connection between visual art and botanical design. Founder Sharon Schneider, with nearly 30 years of experience, will create a custom arrangement inspired by Monet's iconic 'Water Lilies' painting.

The presentation marks a significant moment for the Santa Cruz-based studio, which recently transitioned from a traditional retail model to focus on custom floral design for weddings, corporate events, and special occasions. Schneider's design will be part of the deYoung museum's 100th-anniversary celebration, showcasing how floral artistry can reinterpret and honor classic artistic works.

This invitation represents more than a design opportunity; it highlights the evolving relationship between traditional art forms and contemporary botanical interpretation. By creating a floral arrangement that echoes Monet's masterpiece, Flower Bar Design Studio demonstrates how natural elements can be transformed into living art, bridging historical artistic vision with modern creative expression.

The exhibition will run from June 3rd through June 8th, offering art and flower enthusiasts a unique opportunity to experience how botanical design can provide a fresh perspective on classic artwork. Schneider's contribution underscores the creative potential of floral design as a dynamic, interpretive art form.
