The artistic visionary of Botanical Art,
Mami Ogata, is a Tokyo native who has
resided in Dallas since 1993. Mami got
an early start in her connection to
growing things having spent many of
her younger years living in the Japanese
country side and by the ocean south of
Tokyo. She has always been aware of
having a keen attachment to nature
and studied to become a teacher in
the Sogetsu school of Japanese flower
arranging (ikebana). The training,
experience and development of the
ikebana aesthetic is evident in Mami’s
work, effectively sculpture created from
flowers and natural materials.

Mami worked for 8 years in the floral design business before
starting her own company, Botanical Art, in 2003. She currently
focuses on special occasions, weddings and on transforming spaces
into the visions of her clients that meet their business or personal
objectives

Mami is competently assisted by her husband JD Driscoll with a
degree in theatre and a resume including 7 years at the Dallas
Theatre Center under designer Eugene Lee and 6 more years with
Dallas celebrity stage designer Peter Wolfe. JD brings set design,
lighting and construction expertise to the business. Between the two
of them, they can achieve just about anything a client wants to do
with flowers to create an environment

Mami can accommodate a broad range of floral design work, but is
mostly stimulated by avant guarde experimental designs and does
not hesitate to bring interesting lighting into the mix to create a
desired effect, or to design original containers of stone, bamboo or
Plexiglas to set off her materials and truly create original designs
for her clients. Mami thrives on the interaction with her clients and
the challenge of creating original designs with natural materials that
invoke the aura and mood her clients want to establish in their
space or at their event.
