career as a lawyer for her first love - art. An initial foray into art
education 1st Year BA (Hons) Illustration – Central St Martins 1982/83, was
followed by an LLB (Hons) Law – Northumbria University in1984/87. However, Trish completed
her PhD through the practice of drawing at Glasgow School of Art in 2008.

Scottish Society of Architect Artists, the Scottish Society of Women Artists, the Glasgow Royal Institute of Fine Art, and
the Pastel Society U.K.
She
exhibits nationally and internationally, winning both the Threadneedle and
Aspect Prizes in 2010. Her recently acclaimed major exhibition at Kelvingrove, Drawing
(on) Riverside, exposed the nature of practitioner knowledge to a wider
lay audience through the observation and response to the construction of
Glasgow’s new Riverside Museum which has subsequently been likened to Dewey’s
study of the nature of method. These intricate paintings were done on site over
a period of four years during the construction of Glasgow’s new Museum of
Transport.

detail, especially in the construction paintings. Trish states: “Whilst the
focus of my practice often explores both the relationship between man-made and
naturally occurring landscapes and the notion that we construct ourselves
through our environments, the heart of my work is about the process of
making, the awareness that results from this, and how this might feed back into
the different environments in which I work. Research is an ingrained aspect of
my practice and my experience of combining these elements informs my teaching.”
