Trish Weeks states about her own work: “I am drawn to organic landscapes that seem to breathe and vibrate with amazing energy.  My signature work portrays expressionist views of nature; created by combining simple compositions and complex layers of color. This is achieved using a palette knife, which allows me to intensify the impact and clarity of the colors.” “Those who have experienced my work routinely comment on how good it makes them feel.  My palette knife, color and liberal use of paint create a vibrant, tactile experience that has been described as ‘a dance with color’.” Trish Weeks, represented by Mary Martin Gallery in Charleston.
