We talk to Reed Navarro
Tell us who you are, where you live and your profession? What do you do with flowers?
My name is Reed Navarro! I am located in Dallas, Texas. I am a resin and alcohol ink artist. I love to take fresh flowers, press them, and place them into resin. I like to create functional art pieces as well as wall hangings using just resin and flowers.
How did you get into your art?
I am a full time stay at home mom with two little toddlers. I love being a mama but I missed working, creating, and connecting with others. So I decided to start painting and share my creations on instagram. I started using inks and resin about two years ago and instantly my hobby turned into a business.
Do you make the whole project (including the glass plates) or do you source products?
There is no glass in any of my resin pieces! They are created 100% out of resin. For some pieces I pipe molds myself, for others I source silicone molds to pour my resin into.
Tell us your three favorite projects
Three of my favorite Floral creations:
- »Rosie Tower« Flower Tower, Three Tier Tray
- »Pocahontas« Floral Geode Tray
- »Boho Floating Florals« Floral Wall Art
Do you have a favorite flower?
It is so incredibly hard to choose!! I would say its a tie between Roses and Cornflowers! I love bold colors!
