Orchid & Pine | The Art of Pressing Flowers

Welcome to a slower way of living. 

Hi, I'm Charina - artist and educator dedicated to the quiet magic of botanical preservation. Whether you’re a gardener, a bride-to-be, or a creative heart looking to preserve your blooms, this space is for you.

Pressing flowers is about more than just a beautiful result—it’s about connection, nostalgia, and learning to live fully by being present with the fleeting moments of the seasons.

What you’ll find here:

Technical Insights: How to get the best color and detail from every bloom (from the "fickle" Hellebore to the resilient "weed").

Studio Vlogs: A look into my process of creating botanical art and custom name pieces.

Intentional Living: Moments of solace in the garden and the studio to help you find your own creative rhythm.

Nature is both soft and strong. My goal is to help you respect the life of the plant while mastering the art of the press.
