About the Artist: Tricia Paoluccio
Domain of the Flowerings celebrates the work of multifaceted artist Tricia Paoluccio, whose creations honor the beauty and resilience of flowers, especially the wildflowers she grew up with.
What began as a childhood pastime of pressing flowers on her family’s almond farm in Modesto, California, has blossomed into one of today’s most anticipated collections, with international recognition during the pandemic.
After one of her works went viral on Instagram, Paoluccio was invited to collaborate with luxury fashion houses. Most notably, Oscar de la Renta featured her pressed floral artwork in their celebrated Fall 2021 collection, including the gown worn by Taylor Swift at the Grammys when she won Album of the Year for Folklore. That iconic dress was later awarded Dress of the Year, and her work has since graced the Met Gala red carpet on Anna Wintour.
For Paoluccio, flower pressing is more than an art form. It is an invitation to slow down, to notice fleeting details, and to preserve beauty that might otherwise vanish tomorrow. Each piece reflects this quiet reverence, meticulously composed by hand, professionally photographed, and transformed into limited-edition fine art prints.
Her designs extend beyond the gallery walls, translated into wallcoverings, upholstery, porcelain tableware, Italian linens, soft accessories, and more. Paoluccio’s bold yet delicate creations have been exhibited in New York and San Francisco and featured in collaborations with cultural icons and leading brands.
Notable partnerships include Steinway, Jwana Hamdan, Saved NY, Crosby Street Studios, Bella Rosa Collection, and live activations with Tiffany & Co., Loewe, Jonathan Simkhai, and Moda Operandi.
