The complexities of the social and political environment have always been at the heart of Trina's work. Her current series of paintings is in direct response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Reflections on navigating the literal and conceptual social landscape in her previous work have now shifted to the experiential dynamic of pandemic life. The warped and altered reality of the current times shape the decisions in the work with an ever-evolving response.
Trina has been in many group and solo shows across the United States from Central Washington University, to Maine College of the Arts, Brooklyn NY, Chicago, and Seattle. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Painting at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
