The theme for the 2018 show was “Wonders of Water.” Water is essential to all plants and flowers, so for the theme art I chose to create a series of flowers emerging from water. The designs are a combination of collaged photos and free-form painting done in Photoshop. The main graphic is a poppy. The dahlia and heliconia versions were included in a series of digital ads and on merchandise. Work produced for the show included print and digital ads; social media, website, and email graphics; outdoor advertising such as billboards, bus shelters, and bus sides; merchandise for the show store; and on-site signage. Awards received at the International Festivals and Events Association (IFEA) annual Pinnacle Awards: gold for best promotional poster, best overall merchandise, and best merchandise item (tumbler); bronze for best event invitation.
