Trisha Romance

  Trisha Romance has won the 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 Canadian Artist of the Year Award. The popularity of this artist and her works continues to grow as collectors around the world discover the magic and serenity of Romance.
       The award winning Romance has been painting for over 20 years and is now one of the most successful contemporary artists on the market . Her images have been chosen for everything from the front cover of the Sears catalogue  to a painting of Mother Teresa for the Catholic School Board. While her original paintings have sold for thousands of dollars at a time, the original of her most recently published painting The Conservatory, is on display at the Preservation Gallery, where it is currently for sale for $45, 000.00.
    Six of Trisha's images have now been transformed into a line of collector plates. Several more have been made into three-dimensional figurines. Without looking too deeply into these processes, one might think that because the image has been created and already exists as a painting, not much more could possibly be involved in transferring it to a plate or figurine. This is not the case. Take a look at the borders on each of her plates. The added detail of a pair of skates, a rose, star, or an angel are all artistic complements that had to be thought of first, then designed to flatter the feeling , emotion, and even the sentiment behind the original painting itself. Even more detail is required to create a three-dimensional figurine, so that from all angles, no  two-dimensional attributes can be seen.
    Along with her paintings,  figurines, collector plates, vignettes,  porcelain dolls, and Christmas ornaments,  will be a new Lilliput Lane miniature of the Preservation Gallery ,entitled "Victorian Romance." As for Trisha Romance herself, as long as the popularity of her paintings continues to grow, there will always be....a little Romance in all our lives.
