When Sue McLeary discovered her passion for making art with flowers, she knew she’d found her calling. Always creative, she made jewelry, but when asked to design the flower arrangements for a friend’s wedding, she fell in love with floristry. Now, Sue combines her jewelry design background with floristry to create unique accessories from flowers, and shares her designs with over 130K followers on Instagram under the name passionflowersue.

As an award-winning editorial florist, Sue has been featured in over 50 publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Fusion Flowers, and Cosmopolitan. She encourages others to create with flowers, and is vocal about using floral art as a way to express yourself.
