Louis Miller is a floral designer based in New York City. He has proven himself to be quite the artist, transforming some of the dirtiest garbage cans in the city into vases with larger-than-life flowers. He calls them “Flower Flashes,” and describes them as beautiful arrangements that bring color to the streets of New York City.
Lewis is the owner of Lewis Miller Design, a company that has the specialty of decorating and designing with flowers. He is more than just somebody who works with flowers, however, he is an artist. He uses flowers that have been left from former events and his team works along with him to turn the trash cans on the city streets into beautiful bouquets of flowers.
When you see the contrast of the colorful creation with the gray tone of the sidewalk, it is quite pleasing to the eyes. Lewis says the following on his website: “Gifting flowers to New Yorkers is a simple idea that I have been thinking about for years. I am in the business of fantasy and flowers, and it’s my job to transform key moments in my clients’ lives into joyful, everlasting memories. I wanted to recreate a similar feeling for the everyday city-dwellers and tourists of New York City.”
Along with the beautiful makeovers in the city, he also makes improvements to the local area by putting cut flowers on sculptures, statues, and other public artwork. It all is done with the same goal in mind, “to try to create an emotional response through flowers.”
Each trashcan that he creates brings some beauty to the streets of NYC.
Along with creating beautiful trash cans with flowers, he also has other Flower Flashes that you see throughout the city.
