"The Art of Flora Forager is endlessly cool and filled with everything from peacocks to foraged versions of art masters like Van Gogh's Starry Night."
--Zavvi Rodaine

"This interest in softly modeled three-dimensional collages is really revealing to me, because I think it helps to explain why Flora Forager's representational collages are so delightful and impactful: the three-dimensional forms and fresh flowers create a sense of plausibility and give a lively presence to something that might not actually exist in reality."
--Alberti's Window
