“The joy I feel when painting is immense.”
— Trish Saunders
At Home
I was born in Canada and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand. I currently live in Te Wai Pounamu The South Island New Zealand. There is plenty of wilderness/wildness here, giving time and space to think and breathe as an artist.
My creative practice involves research, processing and un-processing. My interest is to do with who we are, how we intertwine and weave our way through the complexity of relationships with ourselves, each other, objects and the world around us. Reality and unreality collide or sometimes land more softly and melt in these interactions.
The joy I feel when painting is immense. I work mainly in oil, though once again I like to delve into the mixing of possibilities, in this case adding and exploring other mediums when put into close proximity.
