BIOGRAPHY: Born in 1949, Trisha Hardwick is married with two grown up sons. She rekindled an earlier love of painting & art in her mid 30’s, becoming a professional painter in 1989. Her work is widely sought after and has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions which have included New York and The Royal Academy, and is in private collections world-wide.

Her primary Influences are the work and methods of Spanish, Italian and Flemish still life masters from the 16th to 18th centuries. She sources the best materials for her work, some quite hard to obtain, uses traditional methods and explores colour continually, often using paint milled in time proven ways from colourist makers, and having bespoke colours blended to suit her working palette.

She paints on fine weave linen canvases or panels and builds up thin layers over days and weeks, giving a realistically detailed final result that still retains painterly aspects. Simple, yet thoughtful composition together with intuitive use of tone and value combine to make paintings that have been described as exquisitely combining convention with originality. The placement of rich darks with vibrant lights and solid tones against almost transparent glowing areas results in paintings which are calm yet lively, never dull or flat, and always compel more than a passing glance.
