The Gilded Bloom is an artist’s home and garden journal about growing, styling and painting botanicals.

Hi! I’m Lisa. I’m an artist, gardener, and flower collector. This is my journal of the botanical beauty that inspires my creative work.

I grew up and currently live with my husband near the country in sunny California where we are lucky to grow flowers and produce throughout the year. We have fresh citrus fruit all winter and gardens filled to the brim with vegetables and flowers in the summer months. Inspired by the natural beauty surrounding me, I began painting and photographing flowers in our garden and around the region. My art work has been in exhibitions and garden shows and is now also available in my Etsy shop.
