Rachel Sirota is the founder and creative spirit behind her Washington, D.C.-based floral studio, where art, memory, and the natural world intertwine.

Born on the Big Island of Hawai‘i and raised between the volcanic wilds of the Pacific, the sun-soaked quiet of Albuquerque, and the charged energy of Los Angeles, Rachel’s work is a study in contrast and connection. Her floral compositions are not merely arrangements—they informed by her background in fine arts and years immersed in the language of color, texture, and form.

Her designs evoke the landscapes that shaped her—ferns and lava rock, desert blooms and canyon dusk, jacaranda trees and ocean wind. Her work is rooted in place, yet always reaching beyond it—toward memory, feeling, and human connection.

Rachel’s practice is deeply relational: to the materials she chooses, to the seasons she honors, and to the people she designs for. Guided by a reverence for the natural world and the belief that beauty should not be static, she crafts florals that breathe with their own rhythm—ephemeral, emotional, and alive.

Her work has been featured in spaces as intimate as a kitchen table and as storied as the U.S. Senate. She has been recognized in WORD Magazine and exhibited at The Happy Lion Gallery in Los Angeles. Whether creating for public installations, private ceremonies, or editorial collaborations, Rachel’s florals are always an offering—of place and of presence.

As she continues to grow her practice in Washington, D.C., Rachel remains committed to exploring the in-between: between art and nature, between impermanence and impact, between the landscapes we come from and the ones we carry within.
