Trish Bio: Trish has been painting in transparent watercolor for 12+ years with numerous acceptances into national and international exhibitions and many awards won. Before beginning her career in fine art painting, she spent 14 years as a successful clothing designer in Los Angeles, California.
She is a self-taught artist who learned watercolor techniques by taking local watercolor classes and workshops. In addition to being a signature member of SWS, the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society (PWSA), the Society of Watercolor Artists (SWA), the South Carolina Watermedia Society (SCWS), the Texas Watercolor Society (TWS), the Transparent Watercolor Society of America (TWSA), the Watercolor Art Society-Houston (WAS-H), Watercolor West (WW), and the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies (WFWS).
Creating realistic paintings through transparent watercolor is how Trish translates the light captured from images from her own photos. Her work is completely transparent with darks achieved by layering multiple washes. She considers herself a watercolor purist and does not use any form of masking or masking fluid to save the whites in her paintings, but instead uses negative painting skills as she saves the white of the paper to depict white in her paintings. Inspiration strikes often and Trish paints a multitude of subjects including florals, landscapes, skyscapes, seascapes, figures, and portraits.
