“As a child, crayons were my love…using colors rich and vibrant, deep and dark. Now as an adult, each color evokes an emotion within me that I portray through my work. Each piece of art that I create has a special ambience; in creating monoprints, it’s a little more fun and serendipitous whereas painting is a more direct and controlled process often done with just palette knife and my fingers. There is a lot of thought, exaggeration, and excitement as part of the process of my art making.”

Trish received her MFA in Painting from the University of Massachusetts/Dartmouth and her BFA in Painting from the Swain School of Design. A native New Englander she resides in Newport, Rhode Island. Along with creating painting and monoprints in her studio, she instructs fine art at the Community College of Rhode Island and at the Newport Art Museum.
