‘Trish isn’t here to please you.’
With a stare that cuts through the room, Trish wears her discontent like a badge of honour. Unimpressed and unapologetic, capturing the quiet fury of a cat who’s had enough. Bold, expressive strokes and clashing colour bring her prickly personality to life, with just a hint of humour beneath the scowl.
Perfect for anyone who appreciates a bit of attitude on their walls.
My work is inspired by the personalities animals quietly reveal through their expressions, quirks and body language. Rather than aiming for perfect realism, I'm interested in capturing character—those familiar looks that make us smile, laugh or remind us of someone we know.
Working with acrylic paint and oil pastel, I use bold colour, expressive mark-making and layered texture to create lively, contemporary portraits with a playful spirit. Influenced by my background in interior design, I create artwork that brings warmth, personality and a sense of fun to a space.
Whether it's a grumpy cat, a silly dog, a curious bird or another memorable creature, I hope each painting becomes more than artwork on a wall and t becomes a piece that makes people smile every time they see it.
