ABOUT ROIANN RIDLEY
An accomplished gardener, forager, florist, designer, artist and teacher—Roiann has embarked on a new creative journey, originating with her around the world travel adventures, inspiring her diverse artistic talents. With over fifty years of both formal and informal experience in the realm of flowers, Roiann’s creative outlet finds its expression in her botanical art designs and products. Her work mirrors her profound reverence for nature and her unwavering commitment to preserving its beauty through painstaking patience. Her original designs are created from organically grown specimens and responsibly foraged discoveries from nature’s bounty. Her finds are delicately deconstructed, methodically pressed, carefully stored, designed with an artist’s eye and reconstructed with a colorist heart. Roiann has had the unique privilege of training under the esteemed mentorship of the multi-talented artist, Tricia Paoluccio, famously known for the Domain of the Flowerings. Furthermore, Roiann earned the prestigious 2023 Purchase Award at the 31st Annual Women in the Arts event hosted by the Medical Center of Bowling Green.
