I’ve learned beauty comes in many shapes, sizes and from unexpected places. For those of us who choose to look beyond an outer shell, there is a world of discovery. Art is within everything we do and everything we seek to experience. Floral Concept is about extracting the extraordinary beauty from within ordinary objects. From edible flowers and delicious carved fruits and vegetables to classes that improve well-being and encourage learning, Floral Concept is eager to share it all.
Our Exotic Carvings
When I first heard of Kae Sa Luk, the Thai word for exotic carving of fruit and vegetables, I was enthusiastic. So much so, I traveled to Thailand, where I studied with the Executive Chef of the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok, Kru Noi in Chiang Mai and a cooking school in the southern island of Koh Phi Phi. Now with the knowledge I have been given, I share this exotic art form with the world. Many of the pictures in our gallery feature my art and the captivating world of Kae Sa Luk.
Flowers For The Eyes & The Taste Buds
As with the beguiling and amazing beauty of flowers, edible bouquets bring about an immediate feeling of well being removing the cares of the world. In fact, my creations can be used anywhere flowers are enjoyed. I’ve extensively researched the use of edible flowers in the recipes of France, England, Mexico, as well as South and Central America. Floral cuisine has been a staple for many centuries, and I am delighted to bring the concept to Sarasota, Florida. Our arrangements have graced weddings, business breakfasts, open houses, book signings, art gallery openings, birthdays and hospital room bedsides. Beautiful and edible arrangements add style to just about any event imaginable.
Embrace Life & Live Well,
Joan Kershaw
