Biography

Founder of Edenworks, Tokyo, 2009 to present
Lives & works in Tokyo
Megumi Shinozaki is a contemporary floral artist using foliage as an intrinsic medium tocreate unique environmental and decorative works of art. Born 1981, in the Tochigi
Prefecture, Japan, she is the founder of edenworks, Tokyo, 2009 to present and currently
lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
Shinozaki learned and studied natural foliage while working at a prominent flower shopin Tokyo, and after six years of experience she began to rethink her approach to creating
terrestrial and foliage ensemble works. She saw and continues to explore the beauty
within the process of preservation through naturally drying and presentation in non
traditional form. Since then Shinozaki has been working independently as a floral artist.
In 2015, Shinozaki opened edenworks bedroom, which stands as a limited availability
floral arrangement shop in Tokyo's Yoyogi Uehara neighborhood and in 2017, openedEW.Pharmacy in Yoyogi-hachiman, Tokyo. EW.Pharmacy acts as a bespoke flower shop
by allowing customers to consult with appointed staff to create their own dried flower
arrangements based on Shinozaki's practice.
Shinozaki applies her unique sensibility of combining flowers, plants, and otherterrestrial elements in the form of individual arrangements, site specific works, store
display, specialty brand collaborations, ad campaigns, musical artist videos, films, andproduct packaging.
In 2017, “PAPER EDEN”, was the first of her paper flower artworks, which inspires her
current approach, considering every instance of a flower's life cycle into a morethoughtful future of exchange between humans and natural life.
