Chamber Member of the Month

We are celebrating Wild Bloom Art Company as our Chamber Member of the Month!



Wild Bloom Art Company is a creative studio specializing in pressed botanical art and jewelry. Their collection features real, preserved flowers and plants arranged into elegant wall hangings, ornaments, and jewelry pieces like earrings and bracelets. Each item is handcrafted to highlight the natural beauty of the botanicals, offering a unique connection to nature for those who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship. Meagan sources her materials from her small farm, forages in nearby woods, and preserves blooms from special occasions.


Meagan's work has been featured on KCTV5's "Hidden Gems," where she discussed her creative process and the inspiration behind her art. 


You can explore her creations and learn more about her work on her website, wildbloomartcompany.com, or follow her on Instagram at @wildbloomartcompany.



Her offerings include:

  • Pressed Botanical Wall Hangings: Art pieces featuring carefully arranged blossoms, leaves, and stems within elegant frames.
  • Jewelry: Earrings, bracelets, and pendants encasing vibrant blooms and greenery in glass or resin.
  • Ornaments: Decorative items showcasing preserved flowers, perfect for seasonal or year-round display.
