CELEBRITY QUOTES

“Jeff’s work has redefined floral design as we know it. I see his influence in my travels all over the world. And when I don’t see it, what’s before me simply looks outdated…. His work is an art form, graphic, architectural and always beautiful. His character shines through his work and I have come to love them both!!! He is a great friend and a great artist.”
Kylie Minogue
 

“Jeff’s work is so beautiful and flawless that I feel a rush of endorphins whenever I’m in its presence.  I love his magical scenes which he creates through what appears to be an effortless blending of color, dimension and texture. He is a gifted artist who truly breaks traditional notions of beauty.”
Janet Jackson


“Jeff is not a florist, he is a genius.”
Cher
 
“Jeff’s arrangements and floral designs have influenced the floral arrangements in my home. His designs are unusually refreshing and very inspiring.”
Tina Turner
 

“Jeff’s work embodies my love of colors, textures and shapes as he draws voluptuously and sensuously from a pastiche vocabulary of flowers and foliage, veritably akin to the Garden of Eden. He is a master at creating mystery and beauty and above all, sign-of-the-time elegance with the lightest of touches.”
Emanuel Ungaro
 

"What makes his flowers so seductive is his belief that they are an artistic medium… he infuses each display with clean lines, strong colors and a lot of unspoken sex.”
