Flo Perkins has been living and making art in New Mexico for the past 20 years. Her work reflects in-depth investigations of the relationship between blown glass and botanical forms. Through the study of cacti, Flo began to realize how flowers bud, bloom and collapse relates directly to the technical process of blowing glass; the bubble, the opening and the folding. Her cacti and bouquets continue to evolve and assume new shapes and forms with each sculpture.

Prior to her time in New Mexico, Flo Perkins took advantage of every possible situation to learn about glass blowing from Penland School (1973) to Pilchuck School (1974), Philadelphia College of Art (1974:BFA), Massachusetts College of Art (1975-1976), and the University of California at Los Angeles (1981:MFA).
