About Sea Holly Studio

Designer & Grower

Christine Burleson

Designer & Founder, Chris Burleson began the professional floral journey with our sister company, Eibhlin Fern Florals. It started out small with dried floral arrangements & decor and took off from there. Chris started Sea Holly Studio to expand her passion by bringing floral art to Nantucket Island and beyond. Chris Burleson believes that education and enrichment never end, so every off-season is spent perfecting this craft through enrichment travels, mentorships & classes.

With a floral education based on the foundation of art and design, Chris Burleson uses her experience along with botanical knowledge to push boundaries and create one-of-a-kind art blooms. With a hands-on approach, She is working alongside local Nantucket & New England growers as well as bringing in blooms from her own garden. Sea Holly Studio uses Nantucket local first, and also sources from responsible wholesalers.

Chris is also a mom of two incredible kids, Evie & Jack (& fur-kid, Tunny). These little loves play a huge role as the inspiration behind much of the art. You can often find the Burleson family out in the garden or exploring a trail. It’s in these moments that Chris finds herself seeing through the eyes of her children… getting down on their level to see nature’s beautiful moments.
