Trina Hart
Our Cover Page Artist
Art and creativity have always been a part of
Trina's life, coming from a background in
publishing, filmmaking and writing, but now
her preferred form of artistic expression is
through paint.
Her paintings tend to be based on social
statements, and give a deeper meaning than
you at first imagine. She says "The landscape
that society offers up is one that is dynamic
and colourful. I put together a selection of
thoughts and ideas, being a reflection of the
society in which we live, and try to translate
them into paintings and images that evoke
emotion and reaction."
The Local Art Scene gallery in Lymington is
mainly where Trina's work can be seen,
although she has been shown at the St
Barbe Open Exhibitions over the years, and
also at the New Forest Open last year.
Having joined clubs and associations, she
also exhibits where those groups allow, in
particular with the new Forest Arts Society
who offer many opportunities throughout
the year.
This summer, as part of The Local Art
Scene's pop up galleries, Trina will exhibit at
numerous outdoor events, including: Art in
the Garden at Stanwell House Hotel, Art in
the Village on the green at Milford-on-Sea,
Art by the Sea at Lepe Country Park and Art
in the Yard at Early Court, Lymington. All
these event dates can be viewed on the
Local Art Scene's website:
www.thelocalartscene.com.
The Local Art Scene is run by Trevor Hart,
Trina's husband, and so between them they
pool their resources to create a platform
which helps to promote emerging local
artists in the region. When asked about the
work she does for The Local Art Scene, she
says; "The New Forest has a vibrant and
active art community, and to be part of the
hub is what can help get new ideas and
creativity out into the market place. It is a
fiercely competitive field to be working in,
and new artists pop up every day, and all are
looking for the same thing, namely to sell
their work. With fewer galleries on the High
Street, it stands to reason that the internet
is the next port of call, so we have done as
best we can to provide a platform to
accommodate artists across the board.
Galleries in the region offer some
spectacular work, but like any High Street
premises, they are pushed for space, and
with the best will in the world, don't have
the capacity to exhibit all who would like to
have the opportunity. On the Local Art
Scene website, we have that capacity, and
we have the marketing experience to get the
work out there. It's the next best thing to a
physical gallery space."
A portfolio of Trina's work can be found on
the Local Art Scene's website, along with
other local artists in the region.
