Garden Retreat:
"Under the cool of the magnolia tree, Mommy offers a refreshing drink...but that is hardly an allure for a child in desperate 'need' of having her hair rebraided. Strangely enough, I can easily understand, for when I look at them with their butterfly nets, my own childhood passes before my eyes. How well I remember the endless hours spent chasing anything that moved. The versatile net momentarily captured field mice, grasshoppers, toads and sunfish, for an eager closer look." -Patrica Romance

Ice Castle:
"All too brief is the season that creates a cascade of perfect icicles from snow softened rooftops. Oh, like crystal swords they are gathered together. Then, as the sun slips quickly behind the trees, all the light from the windows will take over, turning every blade of ice into a prism as brilliant as any chandelier inside. However, just as nature created this momentary wonder, a change in weather will leave behind the fairytale memory...of the day when home became 'The Ice Castle'." - Patrica Romance

 About Trisha Romance
There is an immediate feeling of contentment when you see Trisha’s work for the first time; an unexplainable peace, which seems to permeate from the very soul of her art. Perhaps it’s her ability to capture the simplicity of everyday life, or the gentle nuances of newly fallen snow. The world that Trisha paints is her world - her family, her home, beloved landscapes and buildings and the serenity of many of her paintings is true to life.
Born in 1951 and blessed at an early age with a recognizable talent and a burning desire to pursue art, Trisha knew that this may not be the “road to riches” but indeed it was the “road to happiness”. To the humble artist from a small town in Western New York this was a vital ingredient to inspiration.
Two years after tenting around Europe, visiting every national museum, and experiencing all the wonders of the art world was an education that surpassed the two year formal training received through Sheridan Art College in Oakville, Ontario. To this adventurous artist, every temporary placed called “home” was not only another chapter in her well kept journal - but another sketch to be later transformed into a painting!
Upon her return from her last “home” in beloved Sweden, she met Gary Peterson, the very person who discovered not only a personal love for her work but had the vision and belief that this was something to be shared. And so, with his care and direction, Trisha’s originals were exhibited throughout many shows in Canada, each one more successful than the last. After two years, this great teamwork became a marriage and with the birth of their first child, Nathan, all paintings seemed to take on a new commitment. A new life, as it were, for colour, light and a dimension of love. And so it was through the birth of Tanya and Whitney, and the interaction of little lives at play, that the ultimate resource of motherhood was fortified.
Trisha has been honoured with many awards throughout her career including the 1995 Canadian Artist of the Year, and most recently by her investment into The Order of Ontario. The popularity of Trisha’s paintings continues to grow, exceeding her ability to supply the demand. Since 1980, limited edition reproductions have sold out as quickly as they were released. Collectors from all over the globe have now been touched by her romantic images, and with three published books, limited edition figurines and most recently, collectible giftware, we are fortunate to be able to enjoy her work for many years to come. |
