Bloom MENTORSHIP WITH TRICIA PAOLUCCIO
BLOOM is an artistic mentorship built from more than 35 years of working with pressed flowers, making hundreds of works of art and teaching thousands of students around the world.
I created BLOOM to help you understand the science behind pressing flowers, master advanced techniques, and achieve beautiful results, even with very challenging flowers. From there, we move into artistry: studying composition, strengthening your artistic eye, developing your own style, and expanding what you believe is possible with your work and your business.
Along the way, you’ll have my personal mentorship and one-on-one guidance, plus the support of our private BLOOM Facebook community.
My goal is to help you master the art of pressed flowers, grow as an artist, and expand your sense of what is possible with your work.

ABOUT Your mentor

She has been pressing flowers since she was a little girl - a lifelong practice that has grown into an extraordinary body of work and a deep understanding of the medium. Through Modern Pressed Flower, she has taught more than 8,000 students around the world, with a mission to elevate pressed flowers beyond traditional craft and help others approach the medium with greater knowledge, artistry, and possibility.
Tricia’s pressed flower work has led to collaborations with Oscar de la Renta, Steinway, Tiffany & Co., Loewe, Moda Operandi, Crosby Street Studios, Saved NY, and others. Her work has appeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Kensington Palace, and has been collected by Anna Wintour.
Through her art and design company, Domain of the Flowerings, Tricia transforms her original pressed botanicals into fine art, wallcoverings, fabric, rugs, porcelain, cashmere, silk, and other forms of design.
Alongside her visual art career, Tricia is a professional actor, singer, writer, and performer whose work has spanned Broadway, television, and stages around the world. She brings that lifetime of creative experience, as an artist, performer, teacher, and businesswoman, to the way she mentors the artists in BLOOM.

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. ”
