“The joy I feel when painting is immense.”

— Trish Saunders

Art With A Purpose

My work is driven by creativity, I love the look of different mark making and mixed mediums, creativity is a bug, you cannot stop it.

I am inspired by strong women artists, who didn’t always know at the time, that they were strong.

Lately, I have turned back to community and how I can strengthen and uplift those around me, partnering with Reefton Who Cares House to help fund their work with the sales of my art.

I paint so I don’t go mad!

Reviews

  • "I have been following Trish Saunders art journey for a number of years. She continues to explore and challenge herself, and this is demonstrated by her changing subject matter. I love her dense foliage works in particular her beech tree representations."

  • "Her work is magical, it takes me into the whenua, it takes me there. As someone with mobility challenges I can't go most of these places but through her art I can feel the water, it takes me on a journey."
