Growing up, the only artistic influence I had was music.  I have no formal art training, but I have taken workshops and small classes.  After taking seminars I found I was looking at life in more detail.  I was stopping to smell the roses !  I hope you will experience a fraction of the joy in my work that I experience painting it...I'm inspired by life.

​

     You may notice that I sign my work "Trish";  I have dedicated all of this to a beautiful woman, friend, and the sister I never had.  She introduced me to Folk Art many years ago.  Sadly we lost her this year.

​

     ""Ruthie, here is my plunge into the Art world!  Love, Trish".

​

From the heart of a born Hoosier..I paint what I love and hope it touches 

your heart as well.

    I am currently proud to announce that  I am one of the Founding Artists of a new Gallery in Savannah, Georgia. Opening in October of 2022 The Savannah Gallery Of Art.
