Oregon Home - Spring 2024

56 | Oregon Home Floral artist Françoise Weeks makes magic of the Oregon forest. Françoise Weeks understands that enchantment can be a process of gathering. “Gorgeousness always stops me in my tracks,” she says. The floral artist, known for her Portland studio workshops and global fan base (not to mention her captivating Instagram), has spent the last two decades harvesting bark, seeds, moss, lichen, branches, and mushrooms from Oregon’s sumptuous private forests. This month she collects projects big and small inspired by her forays with a new book, Wonder of the Woodlands: The Art of Seeing and Creating with Nature.
