Thumbelina Dreaming Painting

Trisha Lambi is an award-winning artist known for her bold and sensuous yet haunting oil paintings. Of her work she says 'Light and its effect on form is my inspiration and whilst I don't aspire to convey a conscious emotion in my work it seems to emerge of its own will.' She has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. Highlights of her career include her selection to represent Australia at the 2006 and 2007 Guangzhou Art Fair in China and her selection as a finalist in the 2012 Art Taipei International Competition.
