Description

Tricia Barna

Tricia paints semi-abstract atmospheric landscapes and floral works, a mixture of abstraction and representation of her surroundings.
Born in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, she studied Art and Design in Glasgow and has worked as a graphic designer in publishing and advertising in both Scotland and Hungary for 36 plus years whilst painting in her spare time. Now a full time artist and framer, she works out of her studio in Dumfries.
Inspired by the light, textures, colours and forms of her local landscape, her paintings reveal her own interpretation and creative experience, while aiming to inspire the viewer to create their own perspective.
Working in acrylics, she uses a mix of tools, building up layers to achieve a depth of colour then scraping back revealing underlying subtle colours and textures. This allows the painting to develop in often unexpected and contrasting directions, resulting in a distinctive body of work.
