Florence resides between France, Connecticut and Boston. Of her work, she says:
"My influence is certainly Asian. I made several trips to Japan but I have been mostly influenced by the Korean aesthetic.While in Osaka I saw a simple and humble piece in the Osaka’s museum ofceramics which broke my heart. Well, there were two. One was a black gourdfrom Korea, the other a white vase, also from Korea, not even regular orsymmetrical but full of elegance in its simplicity. It was a lesson than I humbly try to follow. (...) I like minimalism and simplicity and give priority to the shape of a piece so the decoration is secondary. And if I put a decoration, I find inspiration in my everyday life in France and in nature and like keep it simple. "
