Here I am surrounded by my flowers at a recent sales exhibit.
Exquisite Floral Arrangements
Hi, my name is Sunisa Yorgason. I am a local artist from Manassas, Virginia.
I sculpt and hand-paint flowers and floral arrangements from a specialty clay. The majority of the arrangements I make are orchids- in all their variety and beauty- but I make several other flower varieties as well. I can also vary the size of the flowers and arrangements. While the life-size arrangements are stunning in their realism, many people enjoy miniature versions.
I'm sure that you will find the flowers to be both strikingly beautiful and extraordinarily lifelike. The clay flowers stay in perfect condition nearly forever, so my arrangements are ideal for furnishing your home or office, as keepsakes for a special occasion or event, as part of a collection, or simply as a special and unique gift.
Take a minute to view a few samples of my work. I welcome inquiries and special orders. Please come see me at one of my upcoming shows, or contact me by phone or email.
Awards at Orchid Shows
Three of my clay orchid arrangements took the top three prizes in the Sculpture category at the Virginia Orchid Society Show February 22-24, 2008 in Richmond, Virginia.
My Rhynchostylis Gigaatea won "Best Art Original" and also "Best Artwork in Show" at the Virginia Orchid Show in February 2007. Another of my arrangements was awarded "Best Decorative Art" at the National Capital Orchid Society Show in October 2007.

Unique hand-crafted flowers
My arrangements of clay flowers are crafted using techniques I learned in Thailand. The arrangements consist entirely of clay with the exception of adhesive, paint, and thin wires that support the larger pieces. The clay I use is a mixture of a special Japanese clay and a Thai terra clay. The clay is not fired; the arrangements are air dried and the final product is slightly pliable, though a bit fragile.
