Trisha Thompson Adams
Hi! My name is Trisha and I'm an artist living in Oklahoma City. I've been painting since I could hold a paintbrush and have never stopped. You can find me in my art studio painting new pieces and hanging out with my kitties and little human.
The inspiration for my art bloomed after I heard this Neil deGrasse Tyson quote “I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime.”
Each piece is a shrine to a particular part of the body and is inspired by Tyson’s statement of returning to the earth. I wanted to show the body in a scientific way that looked less like an anatomical diagram and more like a poem of our insides. Many of my pieces focus on the harmony between humans/animals intertwined with earthly and celestial elements.
I primarily work with oil paint as I love the fluidity and ability to add soft layers. Each layer brings with it new depth, life, and mistakes, which results in this new creation that has so much energy to it. It's the reason I love painting so much.
