“Trina loves to express her passion for the landscapes she paints."
Trina Craig
Trina was born and raised on the western slopes of the northern California Sierra Nevadas. She picked up her first paint brush when she was 2 years old and was captivated by the feel of paint under her brush. She knew then that she wanted to become an artist. Trina loves to express her passion for the landscapes she paints. She graduated with a Bachelor of Art degree in painting from Sacramento State University of California and worked as a graphic designer and art director until the early 2020s.
Trina loves to paint landscapes that spark happiness. In 2021 she relocated to Reno, Nevada, from the Pacific Northwest. Exploring and hiking in the western landscape has always been at the core of who she is and she paints not only to express herself, but to share her love for the tall mountains, high-country lakes, granite, deserts and oceans. Most days you'll find her painting, either in studio or en plein air. She enjoys the heartfelt fun of both creating and pushing through to arrive at her finished pieces. She draws inspiration from many artists past and present and has studied under Matt Smith, Scott Christensen and Skip Whitcomb and has attended workshops with Kimball Geisler, Randall Sexton and Matt Smith. In 2024 she was juried into the 31st annual Carmel Art Festival.
