A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, she honed her craft in painting and sculpture before finding her truest medium — organic elements woven into artful compositions.

Through her creative practice, Christy explores the interplay between form and impermanence, crafting floral arrangements that breathe with movement, color, and texture. As the founder of Growing Studio, she transforms flowers, branches, and natural textures into living sculptures, each piece a fleeting moment captured in bloom. Her artistry has graced the pages of Martha Stewart, Nylon Magazine, Vogue Weddings, Style Me Pretty, and Southern Living, resonating with those who find magic in the meeting of wildness and intention.

Beyond florals, Christy moves fluidly between disciplines — art direction, installations, and interior styling — bringing a painter’s eye and a sculptor’s hand to all she touches. Whether designing immersive environments or teaching the delicate craft of sustainable floral arranging, her work is an invitation to see nature as art and art as an ever-changing reflection of nature.

Inspired by the landscapes of Highlands, North Carolina, and Austin, Texas, Christy’s work carries the whispers of the natural world, translated into form and feeling. Through her hands, petals and stems become brushstrokes, space becomes canvas, and nature itself is given voice.

Her versatility and artistic vision have made her a sought-after collaborator in the creative community. Her currently paused brand, Growing Jewelry, was sold worldwide in stores such as Opening Ceremony, Kick Pleat, Beklina, Barney’s and more.
