A Message From Josie Brockman

I am honored to be participating in the People’s Choice competition during Spiva in Bloom. You can support my floral design with a monetary donation. The artist who raises the most will receive 50% of the total funds raised, while the remaining 50% directly benefits the George A. Spiva Center for the Arts, supporting scholarships, educational outreach, classes, camps, and community programming. Thank you for your thoughtful support! My artist statement: A time to remember. A time to remain. A time to remind. Take a second to reflect and relax. Remember. Remind. Breathe. Repeat. I wanted to create a feeling in time that felt like an embrace of love and life. A moment to reflect and remember. A feeling not sold but one we seem to find and mold over time. I felt a personal connection to the piece in the loss it represents. Creating a second to take it all in. Allowing a pause. A chance to take a breath and remember a time of peace. A time not sold. A time never forgotten.
