A Purest in ever since of the word… Trinity, or Trin, if you know her well… Born to Idealist that lived on the outside of society… Trinity grew up the oldest of 6 siblings in a very loving family outside of Portland, Oregon… In a little mountain community called Blossom Creek… A thriving Artist community that was hidden in the backwoods of the forest… Population of about 75 people, and that includes pets… A beautiful place to surround yourself in the best Mother Earth could provide… An Artist Haven… This is where the young Trinity called home most of her life...
Her father, a novelist, and was best known for his Adventure stories that he published in the late 60’s, under the pen name of, Jacob Johnson… The Free Range Series, The Adventures of the Jonathon Brothers, The Lasting Shadow, A Dawn without the Rain, and The Chronicles of the Dying Race, were but a few of the books he’d published while living in Blossom Creek… Trin’s mother, an extraordinary Artist in her own right, was the driving force in their family… This is where Trinity got her love for painting…
“The way my mother could just put an array of colors together to form such beauty kept me warm at night. I'd often lay down at night, and I can still picture the figures in my head as if I were still standing there. I can even smell the paint drying on the canvas. A life with no worries.” T
At a very early age, Trinity learned many lessons on restraint… Being the oldest of 6 kids, her responsibilities were enormous… She acted as their mother at times, and was often held in contempt by the slightly younger siblings… “You’re not my Momma, so you can’t tell me what to do!” With a beautiful smile, Trin would simply reply, “You’re right, but you are still doing what I say.” Trinity’s love for Painting eventually took hold of her at the age of 15... This is when she met Robert Forester, a local artist and musician for the first time…
Mr. Forester was of the traveling sort… Trin found him irresistible… She would follow him all over town, watching his every move… The town was not very big, so it wasn’t long before Robert discovered that he had a young admirer following him home one night… With a quick turn, he was able to catch Trin following him… So he invited her for a Ice Cream Float… And of course she accepted… They talked about everything from school, the wilderness, the city, boys, they even talked about fishing… But they mostly spoke of being a true artist… Someone that lives with no boundaries… This is when she first knew that Art would be her life… Somehow, someway, she would make this happen…
Since Art was in her blood, this was a very easy transition for her… Trin began Dreaming of Art school and the experiences that would help hone her craft… Robert always told her that the really great ones were always living several years in the future… But that most of them weren't even aware… And this is why the majority of them were perceived as mad… Trin knew this all too well… Her family was very loving, but to those looking in from the outside of Blossom Creek, her life must have seemed strange… And this suited her just fine…
Trinity’s passion for the art was slightly blended with rational thinking and plain old common sense… She did help raise 5 kids, and with that comes responsible thinking… She always knew that her path lied with technology in Art… So she earned a scholarship to a small college in Portland where she would live the next 4 years studying computers and art history… She excelled magnificently during her stay… Trin’s love for paint never faded, but her strength seemed to lay in her taste… Computer design seemed to be her calling… At the moment anyway... She began to learn web design and programming…
“Graphic Design, an art form for the 21 century. The power of the brush, replaced with unlimited imagination.” T
Trinity landed her 1st job with a small advertisement firm in Portland, Simon and Sons… Her newly learned skills would be put to test… She was in charge of creating all of the artwork for the website and the Ads… Her keen eye for the details brought her much success in her early days with the firm… Trinity quickly found a new sense of freedom and purpose in her life… Which ultimately drove her away from the comfort of her job… You see, Trin’s spirit was that of a mountain forest that she grew up in… Wild and Beautiful… Feeling like she would never get over these thoughts, she gathered up her courage, and with the love and support of her family, she resigned from the firm… A new life lies due south… So she packed up her bags, brushes, and headed to The Land of the Painted Mountains…
