Originally from a small town on the Connecticut shoreline, Tricia has been attracted to nature since she was a child. Surrounded by marshes, beaches and forests she had the ideal inspiration to become an artist. From an early age, Tricia was constantly drawing. By the time she was sixteen she was talking extra art classes at a local arts center as well as attending an arts oriented high school.

Tricia received a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Oil Painting from Marlboro College in Marlboro, Vermont in 1981. She also studied at the Banff Centre of Fine Arts in Banff, Alberta, Canada during the summer of 1979. After leaving Marlboro, she took classes at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut from 1981 to 1983. She continued her studies while living in New Jersey at the New Jersey Center for the Arts in Summit. In 1987, Tricia and her husband, Lonnie, moved to the Pocono Mountains. She continued her art education at the Baum School of Art in Allentown in 1990 by taking classes in children’s book illustration. In 1996, she traveled to the Provence region of France to participate in a two week painting workshop.

Tricia has developed a unique style of painting which reflects her interests in Impressionism, folk art, child’s book illustration and the work of such American Realists as Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth. She is a colorist, applying her knowledge of color theory to her work. She works in oils and pastels with some supplemental work in gouache. Her subject matter ranges from her own pets and the gardens she tends to the mountains that surround her and the people she has met along the way. This show is a collection of work both old and new reflecting her journey through life and in celebration of her fiftieth birthday. Please join the artist and her family on July 25th for a reception catered by her talented chef husband, Lonnie.
