Rainbow Shores Print

Trish has always had an artistic streak, making decorative candle holders, furniture and other artefacts. Her friends would ask her to make some for them also. In 2018 Trish was diagnosed with breast cancer and through her subsequent journey, she rekindled her artistic purpose and began painting. She likes to paint using bright colours and things which give her joy. All her paintings are intuitive from the heart and are the product of many many hours of painstaking work, and many layers. Trish loves textures and currently paints in acrylic with glazing on canvas using a variety of techniques, such as impasto or sgraffito, and also often includes gold leaf or other materials. "Bright happy colours and the colours of nature inspire me the most. I like to push my art and I am trying to create my own style. I let the painting talk to me and intuitively direct me to paint freely what my emotions want to express. Painting is my happy place and I hope you see this in my artwork. It’s not unusual for me to dream how I would like to paint a painting and I often pour these dreams and emotions onto the canvas. Each painting has a point where the canvas and paint have an intuitive synergy and through the language of art, it seems to communicate with me. Each painting tends to tell a story, which is unique to me, but I feel it can be easily understood by all. I mostly use acrylic golden paints, medium and sometimes inks. I work layer after layer, creating transparencies, revealing beautiful textures and design elements. I want you to be able to see, but also feel the artwork, as it’s a collaboration of sight and touch. I strive to create an ethereal element, that makes the viewer look deeper into the picture. My artwork evokes joy and I want you to feel the joy that I feel when you look at this painting. It’s an invitation into the works of my emotions, which are unique, joyous, passionate and full of energy. It is my take on abstract expressionism.
