Jeff S. Bradshaw, Rebel Hill Florist, Wins Iris Cup in Statewide Competition
NASHVILLE - Jeff S. Bradshaw AIFD, floral designer at Rebel Hill Florist, won the Iris Cup Competition at the recent annual statewide convention of the Tennessee State Florists' Association (TSFA). Bradshaw's 2001 Iris Cup win follows his selection in 2009 as "Tennessee State Designer of the Year," an honor that he also won in 2003 and 1999. Bradshaw holds the distinction of winning every design award presented by TSFA.
"We are very proud that Jeff is a member of the design team at Rebel Hill Florist," said Anna Page, owner of Rebel Hill Florist. "His impressive talent and creativity consistently win industry recognition and, more importantly, the appreciation and admiration of our customers."
The Iris Cup competition, which is open to floral designers throughout Tennessee, involves floral design interpretation of a painting selected by the TSFA art committee. The designers' work is judged by art critics and nationally recognized floral designers.
Bradshaw has been associated with Rebel Hill Florist since 2000. In 2003, he was inducted into the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD) in Washington, D.C. Bradshaw's additional honors include designation as "Designer of the Year" in 2002, 2004 and 2007 by the Central Tennessee Professional Florist Association (CTPFA). The Memphis Florist Association recognized Bradshaw as "Designer of the Year" in 1993 and again in 1998. His designs have been featured in Southern Living, Southern Accents and Veranda magazines.
