Trish Kertes, of La Canada Flintridge, is a noted local artist who is featured at many venues and galleries. She paints works of local California scenes and Italy. Trish has become well known for her colorful painting style as she interprets nature with her brushes on canvas. She often paints on location, which keeps her “in touch” with her subject matter. Her handling of light playing across a landscape is one of the many delightful and compelling aspects of her work.
She continues to create her series of Angeles Crest area paintings. Trish says that “This is an area that I hike frequently, so it is very familiar to me and close to my heart. When I am hiking, I have time to absorb the light and colors around me, in addition to the peace and serenity I feel in that environment”. She is also an avid “birder” which takes her to many picturesque areas that then become subject matter for her paintings.
Trish’s recent trip to Italy resulted in several paintings. Those sold quickly and she has created new works of her favorite places: Tuscany, Venice, Portofino and Bellagio. “I have so many wonderful images of Italy and such great memories that I will never tire of painting them”, related Trish.
“One of the most rewarding aspects of being an artist is sharing my work with others.” Many of Trish’s clients select a painting that will be hung over the mantle in their home. “Having my work displayed in a place of honor in a client’s home is very rewarding to me.” Trish creates custom-designed pieces for clients who have been looking “for years” and can’t find the perfect artwork for their home. She also offers giclees, prints and cards for sale.
Galleries exhibiting Trish’s paintings include Segil Fine Art Gallery in Monrovia, United Wood Craftsmen Gallery in Big Bear Lake, and Descanso Gardens Art Gallery in La Canada, California.
Professional Affiliations: California Art Club, Oil Painters of America, Past-president of Verdugo Hills Art Association (2 years), and Legacy Artists, a local group of artists dedicated to preserving open spaces and encouraging protection the environment through their art.
