Tricia Bass
Art has been a lifetime passion for Tricia Bass. Her love of the great outdoors and particularly the Rocky Mountains, has led her to a career as a plein air painter. “I am often so moved by what I see, that I feel a great responsibility to bring that emotion to the viewer”, the artist states. Bass has learned that the essence of feeling and the play of light and color in a scene is what she hopes to catch in a simple, pleasing way. It is not always the breathtaking vista that excites her but sometimes the smallest, simplest subject will catch her eye to inspire her to bring paint to canvas. In addition to exploring Colorado, Bass also loves to paint on the California coast, Montana and Utah. She lives on the front range of the Rockies, near Denver.
