THE ARTIST

By Trïna

This is the artist who

forages natural pigments
makes her own paint
mixes her own palette
uses shed feathers instead of brushes
creates beautiful one of a kind original artworks
offers bespoke commissions

’A primal creativity connecting with the land’

AFFINITY

Connection

Artist has a deep personal connection to the wonder of nature
Sees nature in nature terms, not in human terms

We and our destiny are bound to it

Art brings the artist close to nature, land, true self

For the artist, nature is her anchor and she immerses herself in it and artwork with it

MISSION

Why this art?

The aim is to create art that brings joy to artist and audience

A unique instantly recognisable visual language

Communicating the magical interdependency of humans and the natural world

Conveying useful and relevant messages

Provoking healthy thought and positive understanding

VISION

The future

Hope for better understanding of interdependence

A precious and more healing relationship between humanity and the rest of nature

MESSAGE

Meaning

We cannot seek connection
We already have it

Natural world is interconnected

We are part of it

We may merely choose to disconnect from it, each other, ourselves

Artistic fascination centres on the interconnected ecosystem. Earth, elements, plant, creature, human

VALUES

Principles

Artist feels connected to values in how natural art is made
Mindful and painstaking work foraging, processing, experimenting and application

Integral to the artist’s practice is a meditative, solitary discipline

Incorporating lengthy processes that foster reflection and devotion

CREDENTIALS

Suitability

Artist is guided by passion, creativity, curiosity, inspiration, experimentation, and a gentle quest for learning and education
Her childhood retreated into a fantasy world of nature and creative expression and the comfort of both

The artist has no professional training and is entirely self-taught

STORY

A personal love letter

The artist has made art since first steps taken in a creative household
Her mother wrote poems and tales, drew story telling doodles, made clothes and costumes

Her father built, fixed, renovated, planted, grew and destroyed things

By Trïna is a homage to two sisters, Tracey and Tina - ï signifying a break, the separation

SOFT ROCK ARTWORK is a personal love letter to that sisterhood

Artwork is a celebration of imagined shared joy in creativity and in nature

Something to remember and reunify love for a lost sister by

A renewal in more ways than one
