Creative Partnerships
My creative life has always been shaped by collaboration. As both an actor and visual artist, I have spent decades working alongside directors, designers, musicians, choreographers, and creative teams to bring ideas to life. Theater taught me that the most meaningful work rarely happens alone. It emerges when different perspectives come together in service of a shared vision.
That same spirit guides my collaborations today. I am drawn to projects that expand our understanding of how pressed flowers can exist within high design. What excites me most is taking a medium traditionally associated with craft and reimagining it at scale, transforming real pressed flowers into works for interiors, fashion, collectible design, and immersive environments.
Every piece begins with real flowers. I personally gather, press, preserve, and compose each work by hand before it is photographed and translated into different mediums. Whether the final expression becomes wallpaper, textiles, porcelain, rugs, or large-scale installations, each begins as an original pressed flower artwork.
In an increasingly digital world, I remain deeply committed to the value of making things by hand. That connection to craftsmanship remains at the heart of everything I create.

Oscar de la Renta + Taylor Swift
Through Modern Pressed Flower, Tricia Paoluccio collaborated with Oscar de la Renta by providing original pressed flower artwork that inspired and was translated into custom textiles for the brand’s Fall 2021 collection. One gown became a global fashion moment when Taylor Swift wore the design while winning Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammy Awards, and the piece was later featured at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of In America: An Anthology of Fashion.
High Line Nine
In 2021, Paoluccio transformed a gallery at High Line Nine in Chelsea into an immersive botanical installation featuring a collection of her large-scale pressed flower artworks and a hand-customized Steinway grand piano. Created during the height of the pandemic, the exhibition offered visitors a sense of beauty, peace, and connection, earning three extensions due to popular demand.
The gallery also became a creative gathering place for musicians, dancers, and performers during the pandemic. As a performer herself, Paoluccio understood what was happening in the hearts of artists everywhere as theaters closed, performances were canceled, and creative communities were suddenly separated. She opened the gallery free of charge to fellow artists, offering a place to gather, create, and reconnect through their work. Among these collaborations was a music video she produced featuring pianist Chloe Flower and choreography by James Alonzo. The exhibition was recognized by Time Out New York as a must-see cultural destination.
Oscar de la Renta + Anna Wintour + Met Gala
As part of Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2021 collection, original pressed flower artwork Euphoria created by Tricia Paoluccio was translated into custom textiles for a gown worn by Anna Wintour at the Met Gala. The gown was later featured in the Crown to Couture exhibition at Kensington Palace.
Steinway & Sons
Originally commissioned through Modern Pressed Flower, Tricia Paoluccio transformed a grand piano into a one-of-a-kind collectible design piece using her original pressed flower artwork.
The custom grand piano vinyl wrap reimagined the iconic Steinway instrument as a luxury art object, merging pressed flower design, custom surface applications, and large-scale floral storytelling. The piece was showcased at Paoluccio’s exhibition at High Line Nine, featured at the Steinway & Sons flagship showroom, and later toured nationally.
Crosby Street Studios
In collaboration with Crosby Street Studios, a leading New York design house known for bespoke luxury rugs, Tricia Paoluccio transformed her original pressed flower artwork into one-of-a-kind handwoven rugs crafted by master artisans in Nepal. The partnership expanded her botanical designs into heirloom-quality interiors, merging fine art, traditional craftsmanship, and custom home design.
The Jaguar Parade
In 2022, Paoluccio was selected as one of 40 international artists to create a sculpture for the global The Jaguar Parade, a public art initiative supporting jaguar conservation during the UN General Assembly in New York City. Her life-sized jaguar sculpture was exhibited alongside works installed throughout the city at iconic locations including the United Nations, Central Park, and the Oculus and was later one of the few sculptures sold at auction to benefit wildlife preservation efforts
Moda Operandi
Moda Operandi featured and sold Tricia Paoluccio’s original pressed flower artwork, luxury cashmere throws, and decorative pillows while also offering her work as part of the platform’s bespoke custom commissions. The partnership positioned Paoluccio’s botanical artwork within luxury retail, collectible home design, and custom art services for a global clientele.
Tiffany & Co. + Loewe
Tiffany & Co. and Loewe have repeatedly partnered with Tricia Paoluccio to lead exclusive pressed flower activations within their New York flagship stores. These immersive brand experiences introduced clients to the artistry of pressed flowers through live demonstrations, bespoke workshops, and luxury retail events, establishing Paoluccio as a trusted creative partner for globally recognized fashion, lifestyle, and jewelry brands.
Bella Rosa Collection
In collaboration with Bella Rosa Collection, Tricia Paoluccio created custom pressed flower designs that were translated into luxury handbags and fashion accessories. The partnership expanded her botanical artwork into wearable design, merging fine art, craftsmanship, and elevated accessories.
Jwana Hamdan + Milan Design Week
Created for designer Jwana Hamdan and presented during Milan Design Week, this collaboration translated Tricia Paoluccio's original pressed flower artwork into luxurious woven Italian textiles for a collection of collectible furnishings. Paoluccio created two original botanical patterns and a one-of-a-kind artwork that were transformed into custom fabrics and incorporated into the furniture collection, including upholstered pieces and a statement table. The project introduced her botanical language to a global design audience and demonstrated how pressed flower art can be reimagined within the world of luxury interiors.
