Hello! I’m Amy, the artist and owner of A Home in Bloom.

I’ve had an art business for almost 9 years, and this is the first year that I gave myself permission to say: I’m an artist. Self-doubt is always trying to get a seat at the table. Today, I feel confident saying: I’m an artist, making things cozy and beautiful is my superpower.

If you have read this far, I already know that you are my kind of human and I’m so happy you are here.

A Home In Bloom is more than just an art business—it’s a reflection of my love for creating, preserving beauty, and honoring life’s most meaningful moments. I’ve always been drawn to making things that feel warm, personal, and full of heart. My journey as an artist started in 2014 while renovating our 90-year-old home, a process that inspired me to craft hand-painted signs as gifts. What began as a creative outlet during my son’s naptime quickly grew into a thriving business, eventually shipping over 100,000 handmade pieces to boutiques across the country.

As my business evolved, so did my creative path. In 2020, I found myself captivated by the delicate beauty of pressed florals and the emotion they carry. Flowers mark some of life’s most cherished moments—weddings, celebrations, and milestones—and preserving them felt like a way to hold onto those memories forever. With that, A Home In Bloom became a space where artistry and sentiment intertwine, offering bridal floral preservation and custom keepsakes that turn fleeting beauty into lasting art.

Each piece I create is deeply personal, crafted with the same care and intention as the very first signs I painted all those years ago. My hope is that when you see your flowers preserved, you feel the love and connection they represent. This journey has been one of creativity, growth, and endless gratitude, and I’m honored to share it with you. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your story.

Meet, Gabby.

My name is Gabby Flores. Ever since I was little, I've always enjoyed art. I love anything hands-on, like woodworking, drawing, painting, and photography. In the fall of 2023 I started attending SIUC for a bachelor's of fine art in Blacksmithing, with a minor in Equine Science. In the small amount of time that I've been enrolled, I've gained many new hobbies and skills, like glass blowing, iron casting, small metals, sculpture, and printmaking. I am so very thankful for Amy to have given me the opportunity to continue my art passion by designing your beautiful pressed bouquets.
