About Marie-Françoise Deprez
“Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open”
John Barrymore
It used to be a dream… flowers have become my mode of expression, they express what is inside me, my emotions, my feelings…
Life is full of small pleasures. An open path exists…a path where we can walk, open our spirits and soothe our hearts. Listening, learning, feeling Nature, hearing the messages our Mother Earth leaves us.
Rather than words, I’ve always preferred lines, spaces, the different movements of flower arrangements, progressing through drawings, the green shaping of floral designs, and letting propagate, within the floral sculptures, the invisible threads of energy and light…That very light that everyone has deep inside, and which vibrates and propagates throughout design…
I like playing with leaves, softening them, giving them curved lines and movements, and helping them become like jewelry cases which glorify flowers, with this fascination and enthusiasm for shapes, materials, colors in harmony.
When it comes to the language of flowers, each culture has its own sensibilities. Traveling enables one to enrich one’s vision of flowers and the potential patterns they offer. Unusual encounters, shared friendships…it is necessary to walk towards the unknown fearlessly and hopefully, with joy and a spiritual vision of things.
Dedicating oneself to the joy of creation brings a wonderful sensation of freedom and fulfillment…
“Happiness is like a kiss: you must share it to enjoy it”
I hope I will manage to instill the love of flower arranging to my numerous students and transmit some of my ‘green passion’ to my children. I’ve been so happy all these years, through the books I have created, the flower arrangements I have made and the classes I have taught…and also the fact of sharing with you and being a small part of your lives.
