Testimonials
“The growth that emerged from BLOOM, and the impact of Tricia’s master flower pressing experience blew me away. I was not anticipating how beautiful the connection to the group would be. We all came into the mentorship with different goals, styles, and levels of expertise - yet we were united and grew together. It’s rare in the creative industry to find an artist who openly shares their journey, techniques, and resources. Tricia has a light and confidence that touches every person she encounters. I can’t recommend BLOOM enough to those who want to invest in their creative journey. It was worth every penny. ”
“BLOOM has been a transformative experience! It challenged me to learn, experiment, and step out of my comfort zone, all of which resulted in significantly improving my skills pressing and preserving flowers. Tricia’s nurturing environment, combined with the invaluable knowledge shared among participants made this journey truly exceptional. I’m now equipped with a deeper understanding of flower preservation and a newfound confidence in my abilities. The BLOOM mentorship not only taught me about art - it allowed me to blossom personally and artistically. ”
“I’ve been following Tricia for years and was always so impressed with her work. When she offered a mentorship, I didn’t really know what to expect, but the experience was beyond what I could have ever imagined. The attention she gave to each student and the time she spent answering questions with like having a personal flower pressing coach. Something else I really admired is how normal and real Tricia is. Her being so relatable was that I didn’t realize would be important going through a mentorship. To top it all off, the other participants were so supportive, and encouraging, and wonderful to be in a group with. I can’t wait for the next round! ”
