Grace Kelly’s Incredible Life from Old Hollywood Star to Princess

Grace developed a deep interest in collecting, drying, and arranging flowers, eventually turning the hobby into intricate works of art. Pressed petals and leaves allowed her to create delicate compositions away from the intense public attention that had surrounded nearly every stage of her adult life.

What began as a private pastime gradually became something more substantial. Grace exhibited her floral artwork and became closely associated with gardening and flowers, particularly roses. The work gave her another artistic identity after acting had largely disappeared from her life. Before long, she would gather that private passion into a book of her own.
