-
The genre of Trish Crampton’s work is still life.
The vintage and everyday vessels she paints from her studio in Sydney all have their own quirks and personalities. They create a dynamic between themselves, and then with the audience.
Trish hopes her work brings a calm joy to the viewers.
Inspired by the subdued colours and the timeless sense of hushed contemplation of Morandi’s still lifes. She also enjoys the work of John Bokor, Bonnard and Cezanne.
The process she enjoys of layering of the paint, capturing the dance of light and working with the familiar and everyday objects and scenes is a daily practice.
Trish studied printmaking at Sydney College of the Arts in 1985 and has been a practicing artist since, exhibiting in solo exhibitions and group shows. She is also a Visual Arts educator in high schools and runs art workshops from her home studio as well as many regional ones. She feels very grateful for being able to pursue her creative path daily.
Trish has been a finalist in many art prizes. In 2025 she was in the Still Life Bowral art prize and in Orange In The Box prize. In previous years she has been in the Ewart Art Prize, Hunters Hill, The Kings School and the 40Under40 in Surry Hills.
