Who’s Behind Artesia?

Hey there!

My name is Maddie. I’ve been living in Santa Barbara, California for the past nine years and I honestly have to say that this place is my greatest inspiration. I’m constantly in awe of all the beauty around me and get to experience it even more as I source new and unique floral varieties.

I’m a curious soul - filling my everyday life with as much creativity as possible. From cooking new recipes to working with wood, I seek to create through physical mediums, exploring embodiment to create something whole.

Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
