About

Hey! I’m Hope,

I’m a pressed flower artist and the founder of Olive Branch Studios, a floral preservation company I started in 2019. What began as a creative way to fund my work teaching English overseas quickly grew into a full-time career and a deep passion for preserving the beauty of nature.

For over seven years, I’ve worked with real flowers, carefully preserving and transforming them into lasting works of art. Through Olive Branch Studios, I continued to create custom preservation pieces using wedding bouquets, memorial flowers, and other meaningful blooms that tell a personal story.

Alongside my preservation work, Hope Synod Art is where I explore flowers as a medium for fine art and interior design. Each piece is created using real pressed flowers and botanicals, thoughtfully arranged to celebrate texture, color, and the organic beauty found in nature. My work is inspired by gardens, changing seasons, and the quiet details often overlooked in everyday life.

Whether I’m preserving a bouquet filled with memories or creating a large-scale botanical artwork for a home or commercial space, my goal remains the same: to create timeless pieces that bring the beauty of nature indoors.

My work has been featured in Brides, Wayfair, Gulfshore Life, and The Scout Guide.

Thank you for being here and supporting handmade art.
