THE ARTIST
Fanny has been deeply involved in Ikebana for over 20 years and has taught the Sogetsu style since 2002 in Seattle. She participates regularly in exhibitions and demonstrations in the Greater Seattle area. She holds Ikebana classes regularly in Bellevue and Seattle.
Fanny's Studio is where traditional Ikebana takes new life in a modern art form.  Departing from the ordinary vase and flower approach, Fanny uses Ikebana as a launch pad for artfully sculptural creations.  Her studio in beautiful Bellevue, Washington is the home base for all her creations.  From table-top arrangements to storefront displays and large outdoor installations. She believes that the essence of Ikebana is to reveal the inherent beauty in any and all materials with one's passion, patience, observation, imagination and creativity. The challenge to transform ordinary, uninteresting materials into beautiful, inspiring, and engaging works of art is the core of Ikebana practice and a source of joy for Ikebana artist.
