In addition to her design work she has always kept her hand in the fine arts world by continuing to train and study painting and drawing. Landscapes are her current focus, rendered mainly in watercolor and oil. Her creative process usually includes sketching with value and color studies done in the field then finished in studio. Favorite artists include: Mary Cassatt, Monet, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Picasso, and James Michalopoulos Artist’s Statement: “Although I always use the basic principles of design in any artwork, my “fine art” work is in some ways exactly the opposite of my professional design work. In drafting and rendering, my main purpose is to produce an exact likeness for a client. When I am painting, my goal is convey the spirit of a subject or scene….I want to show atmosphere, mood and emotion.” Well known artist, Antonio Cirino once said “The layman is interested in what he sees; the painter in what he thinks about what he sees. The painter issues a report; he doesn’t make a record.” Trish currently resides in Meridian, Mississippi where her time is divided between raising her family and focusing on her artwork.
