Trish Richardson
A lifelong artist, Trish’s creative spark was encouraged early on by her mother, who nurtured her curiosity and supported her exploration of a wide range of artistic media. Today, as an artist, teacher, writer, and mother, Trish continues to weave art into every part of her daily life. Nature remains her greatest source of inspiration. She is drawn to moments that feel fleeting: the shift of light across a fox’s fur, the quick gesture of a hummingbird in motion, the sparkly view of the lake through the trees, or the quiet presence of a birch tree in a light filled forest.
Her work has grown and evolved over time, shaped deeply by her love for the environment. Often found walking the shores of Lake Winnipeg with her camera in hand, Trish seeks out beauty in all seasons capturing wildlife, landscapes, and the subtle changes in light that transform familiar places. Trees, birds, and beaches become recurring characters in her work, each rendered with attention to atmosphere and emotion.
She works primarily in oil, watercolor, and pen and ink, Trish loves experimenting with unconventional surfaces. She has been painting on birch bark and repurposed barn board embracing the natural textures and stories embedded within each piece of bark. or piece of wood. Painting on these surfaces brings a tactile, organic quality to her work.
Her paintings are held in private collections across Canada and internationally. Follow her creative journey at Trish’s Art Shed (https://trishsartshed.squarespace.com/) or on Instagram and Facebook @trishsartshed. This year, she looks forward to sharing fresh pieces inspired by her cottage garden, lakeside wanderings, and the quiet magic of her studio spaces.
