Tricia Reichert

I am originally from the UK but my home has been the US for the last 40 years. My official art career started later in life, but in my heart I have always been an artist. Faces have always fascinated me and that interest initially led me to portraiture, primarily in pastel and watercolor. I am also quite intrigued by 'process' and that has developed into an exploratory journey into printmaking and mixed water-based media.My other cultivated areas of interest are figurative clay sculpture, drawing and teaching.
