One Fruit Forward was established in 2020 in St. Petersburg, FL.
June Bunch began drawing botanical images for Sow Exotic, a Florida plant nursery, in 2020. Later, after moving to Juneau, AK, she become a naturalist guide, inspired to debut a series of botanical ballerinas, au naturale.
June studied plants' "choreography" of growth and illuminated their dance with vibrant colors and clean lines. Her visual art remains rooted in botany and ballet, featuring postures pausing movement and holding emotional richness, each highlighting feminine nature and flora in a bold, empowering way.
The 2024 series of birth month flowers unveils a new design every month and will become a 12-piece set in 2025. June's designs are drawn with great care and printed with high-quality inks on museum-grade, acid-free matte paper. Stickers are top-grade waterproof vinyl and work perfectly for water bottles and other solid surfaces.
Her work has won an honorable mention at the Morean Arts Center gallery and has been featured in the press on Creative Pinellas, Tampa's Artist Incubator, Radio St.Pete, Fox News and more.
You can find her work across the country at Kindred Post in Juneau, AK, Moab Made in Moab, UT, and the Merchant in St. Pete, FL.
