Trish Taylor Thompson
Originally from Dublin and now living in Terryglass overlooking Lough Derg, TTT paints in oils, acrylics and glass inks creating unique images that exude life, energy and colour. Whether depicting the delicacy of the cherry blossom or the tropical bloom of the cannonball tree, her flower paintings radiate a world of beautifully illustrated botanicals against a signature abstract backdrop. More recent work reflects the wild life of Lough Derg including the elusive whitetailed eagles and striking kingfishers. Her Mackerel Series harks back to childhood holidays by the sea while the Bee Series responds to the fragility of our ecosystem and the importance of cherishing our pollinators. With a unique palette, informal structure and distinctive style, TTT’s work is instantly recognisable and collectable. Her seminal work ’45 for Valour’ that features the motif of the common poppy, papaver rhoeas, can be viewed in The Limerick Civic Offices in Limerick City.
