The book just received a fabulous review in the March 2013 edition of the Midwest Book Review.
"Flowers, common in nature, prove to be an inspiration in art for the centuries.
"Flowers in Art: Contemporary International Artists" views floral inspirations
in art in modern works in photography, painting, sculptures, and other mediums
of art as Cindy Ann Coldiron does well in compiling the works of these many
artists, capturing their methods far and well, presenting all of it full color.
For those with a love of floral design, "Flowers in Art" is a strongly
recommended addition to art collections, highly recommended."
The review can be viewed here as well.

A Review by Erin Schimdt of the South Bend Examiner
Erin Schmidt of the South Bend Examiner wrote a great detailed piece on the book. Thank you Erin!
"St. Mary's alumna and fine artist Cindy Coldiron's first book, Sculpture and Design with Recycled Glass, was released by Schiffer Books in 2011. Coldiron's second book of three, titled Flowers in Art, is now available from the same publisher. It was published on January 28, 2013.
Flowers in Art: Contemporary International Artists explores the 2- and 3-dimensional works of more than 50 artists, in media as diverse as glass, collage, watercolor, ceramic, realistic botanical illustrations and pop art pieces. The 128-page hardcover book contains a total of 285 color illustrations and is available for $29.99 from the publisher.
One reviewer on Amazon.com said about the book:
Coldiron's appreciation for the flower stems (no pun intended) from her love of gardening. According to her publisher, Coldiron has been an avid gardener since the age of eight. Her private flower garden was featured in the Home section of the Washington Post in 2007.
