Esprit de Fleur was founded and is operated by floral artist Sheri Miller.

Schooled in a range of design and style with two bachelors degrees in art, she has also had extensive training in Europe studying Dutch and German design.

In 1993, after meeting rigid qualifications and demonstrating advanced professional ability, she was accredited by the highly esteemed American Institute of Floral Designers. With only 1,200 members worldwide, the AIFD accreditation is awarded only to those in the forefront of the floral industry committed to establishing and maintaining higher standards.

Sheri has been quoted in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and is recommended by many of the city's leading event planners.

She has also instructed thousands over the years in the art of flower arranging and design through her private classes and courses at Shoreline Community College and the UW Experimental College.
