One of the biggest goals of Bloom is to help artists not only grow creatively—but to stretch into new possibilities. Whether it’s refining their style, gaining confidence, or turning their passion into income, I love watching my mentees bloom (literally 🌸).
Meet — a Bloom graduate who already had a thriving wedding preservation pressed flower business in Perth, Australia. Here’s what they had to say:
“Since BLOOM, I’ve been slowly and quietly applying all the things I learned. I recently hosted my first exhibition, something I never imagined I’d be brave enough to do. I even pressed carrots and tiny tomatoes! Honestly, I wouldn’t have had the courage or skills to try that if it weren’t for the warmth and encouragement from Tricia and the beautiful people in the group. Being surrounded by such generous kind souls really stayed with me.” - Joanna Hiu (The Gallery J)
Their artistry and heart are exactly why I created Bloom. Pressed flowers have a way of spreading joy, and it’s been amazing to watch them share that joy in their own unique way.
