“Through the years I have shared my passion through workshops for Altar Guild members and Garden club devotees, fostering a sense of community around floral artistry,” Pavelic said in a release. “One of my most cherished projects was designing an installation for the Garden Club of America’s annual meeting in Hartford. For this, I crafted monumental blooms – Himalayan poppies, dahlias, carnations, daffodils and hydrangeas. I used cardstock, PVC piping, and cement faces to adorn the convention center, turning it into a garden of wonder.”

“Flowers have been woven into the fabric of my life, an enduring source of inspiration and creativity,” Eugenie continued. “For over 36 years I’ve been honored to arrange floral designs for the Christ Church Greenwich high altar and chapel, weddings, baptisms, funerals, and Sunday services with beauty and meaning. My involvement and coordinating the blaze for Easter and Christmas has deepened my appreciation for the transformative power of flowers. Each season offers new opportunities to learn and refine my craft.”
“Whether composing elegant arrangements of cut flowers or creating lush seasonal containers for clients, I am constantly reminded of the ever-evolving nature of floral design. Each new creation is a lesson and beauty, and my journey with flowers continues to bloom.”
