Born and raised in Queens, MFF is a multidisciplinary artist who, through his floral sculptures and pop culture collectibles like resin sneaker planters, has amassed an impressive roster of clients, including Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak.

“I’m very happy to have met many people that flowers and art and music and sports have brought together. My life changed,” MFF says of what his anonymous alter ego has brought him in the last several years.

His process is an exercise in patience, a mantra he tries to live by.

“Having a love for plants and flowers has taught me patience; you’ve just got to be patient, and when you’re patient enough, flowers bloom. That’s how I live my life.”
