today’s incredible sneak peek belongs to portland-based artist trish grantham. trish is a self-taught painter who works with a variety of media and acrylic paint on wood panels. she describes her characters as paralleling japanese anime and existing in a unique fantasy world where they play out “classic themes of good versus evil and romantic love”. i love the playfulness in trish’s work and the way she uses soft washes of color contrasted by thick black lines. trish is currently have sale on her artwork right here and is selling a recently released collection of notecards here and postcards here. i hope you’ll enjoy her sneak peek as much as i did- as always you can click here for many (MANY) more full-sized photos of trish’s home. there are several photos after the fold, too so you can click here to view the full post or click “read more” below. enjoy!

“I love making my home interesting and comfy! It’s filled with paintings from friends and artists I love…most of the work I have has been trade… which allows me to have great stuff! The black and white pics above my bed are Abra Ancliffe. I bought them all at Stumptown Coffee about a year ago. In the living room there are several different artists above the sideboard. Johnny eschelman=bird music box, michael paulus= hello kitty, a print from marcel dzama, 3 paintings bird, bird watching, and boy with bird is jessica bonin, and the 3 deers piece is Oksana Badrak- the rest are vintage.”
“Above my piano is a piece I bought in 2001 by Carson Ellis.”
“The large piece above my couch is Dan Ness.”
“The pieces by the log in the living room are Amy Ruppel’s birds and planes series from 2000- and a newer piece from lisa congdon.”
“The pieces in the kitchen nook are my good friends. The Lincoln piece is Michael Paulus and the dots are Rachael Donaldson.”
