Meet Charina + Orchid & Pine:
With a BFA in fashion design and a background in teaching yoga and meditation, Charina’s love of form, texture, and color naturally bloomed into a practice that bridges floral design with the slow, mindful art of crafting with flowers by hand. Through floral art, she brings those worlds together in a way that feels both intentional and beautifully alive. Her work through Orchid & Pine Studio can be found at The Huntington Botanical Gardens, The New York Botanical Gardens, beloved local 11th Hour Coffee gift shop and is featured in In Her Studio magazine.
Through her Pressed Floral Portrait Workshops, Charina invites you to slow down and reconnect with your creative side. You’ll learn how to layer delicate blooms, play with color and composition, and leave with a piece that is uniquely yours—a little reminder of what your hands and imagination can do.

I booked the pressed floral frame private event for my child’s birthday, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Before the event, the instructor, Charina, communicated clearly via email with all the important details about the event. During the session, she was incredibly patient as she guided my kids and their friends through each step. She provided a beautiful variety of pressed flowers and leaves, along with all the tools needed for the activity.Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the process flowed smoothly from one step to the next. The kids had an amazing time crafting and creating their frames. The reservation process was very user-friendly, and communication with both Jiaren Cafe and Charina was seamless.
It’s been a while since I’ve taken an art class of any type. Time and money were factors, but mostly I missed something that spoke to my heart. My first interaction with Charina of Orchid and Pine was so welcoming that I knew I’d found just what I needed: flowers, learning new skills, incorporating parts of my life, and a beautiful environment. The pressed flower frame class, hosted at Home by Zinnia’s in Scotts Valley, featured a beautiful layout of needed supplies and clear, well-thought-out instructions that allowed participants to explore the process while making connections to the people involved and the images we were working with. The food, libations, and décor of Home by Zinnia’s made it a perfect Sunday evening treat. Being able to return home with a beautiful frame filled with flowers and a precious picture was exactly what my heart needed!
