Terrariums are one of the most amazing ways to put your tiny plants on full display, and no one knows this better than Bria Singer. After getting her fine arts degree, she found an unexpected creative outlet in the world of terrariums, and this new hobby reignited her passion for art all over again.
Singer is an artist from Columbus, Ohio, who graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2019. She mostly focused on painting, drawing, and jewelry-making while working towards her degree in fine arts, but started looking for a different way to express herself creatively following graduation.
“Shortly after graduating, I became OBSESSED with houseplants… Creating terrariums healed the turbulent relationship I had developed with drawing and painting, and gave me an artistic outlet that felt easy and carefree. I’m so grateful to have fallen into such a fun hobby and art form,” she wrote on Instagram.
Terrariums opened up a whole new world of possibilities for Singer and allowed her to explore her love for miniatures in a brand-new way. She’s sharing her creations on her Instagram page @velvet.forest.terrariums, and her tiny ecosystems are contained in everything from butter dish trays and cookie jars to teapots and wine glasses.
