HER STORY
Kate Rutter is a florist, classically trained fine artist, and mother based in Cleveland, Ohio.
Her journey to floral fine art began simply as a love affair. Synchronicities kept drawing the flora into her life, until they placed themselves in the center as her personal healing practice and the medium through which she now creates art.
After earning a BFA at Kent State, Kate lived in the Pacific Northwest while working as a creative director, stylist, and artist. During this time she began an apprenticeship in floral design and learned the nuances of floristry. A desire for spiritual growth and healing drew Kate to utilize herbal medicines, flower essences, and the subtle healing energies of the natural world which allowed her to activate her intuitive gifts.
Today, these gifts drive her proprietary approach to floral design through which she intuitively channels bloom selection and crafts divinely inspired, energetically powerful floral arrangements for her clients.
Upon her return to Northeast Ohio and the divine birth of her son, William, the flora again became an integral part of Kate’s life and profession.
To this day, Kate engages with the flowers to soften her heart and strengthen her spirit and she has found a deep well of resilience from within that forms the foundation from which she mothers and offers her services as a fine-art florist and floral healer.
HER PROCESS
Kate’s weekly trip to the flower market is more than a business task. It is a time of play and discovery, often with her four year old son. As she weaves through the seasonal flora arrivals, Kate softens into a place of intuition and connects with the vibrational frequencies of the flowers. From this open-hearted place she receives guidance from the flowers about her clients and their needs, and then chooses flowers for each sculpture accordingly.
Kate's relationship with the flora has been a teacher and healer as she walks her journey through life, and has also allowed her to mother from a place of compassion and joy.
This profound healing influence of the flora has allowed Kate to create the life of beauty she lives today, and it is this gift she hopes to transmit to her clients through each and every intuitive floral sculpture.
