About The Artist
I’m as surprised as anyone to end up a florist, though it is just the latest medium in a life full of art and design. My professional life began in set design for theatre, working in Chicago, New York, Santa Fe, New Haven, Maine, and beyond. This is where my love of collaboration comes from.In an attempt to realign myself and my practice, we moved to Maine in 2010. Soon after I was washing buckets at a flower shop, and about the same time found myself in the woods creating my first art installations.
As the years have passed I realize that I am only myself, and that I love all these things equally, and that my advantage is being able to combine these together. My other pride-and-joy is Institute for American Art, an itinerant art museum-style project that I run with my husband, Chris Stiegler. To get a full scope of my career, check out my CV.

Our Story
SHOP PLANT OFFICEWe celebrate ephemeralities, the specifics of time and place, and chance. Though most visibly a florist, Plant Office is ultimately a client-driven design firm, using our skills and experience to realize visions, create memorable experiences, and provide context across scales, mediums, and venues. Trust, quality, and reliability are the tenets of our business, and what we look for in our clients as well.
In Spring 2019, Plant Office opened up a houseplant and dried goods store in Portland’s East End. A ever-changing selection of curated plants, local pottery, dried wreaths, and other botanical goods await our visitors.
