Growing up in WashingtonDC, she has witnessed the transformation of DC from a sleepy, small town into a bustling,heavily trafficked city with wildlife and people often sharing the same spaces. Her interest inconservation deepened while on many safari trips to Botswana. She is captivated by the wildanimals … their shapes, sizes, movements, sounds … and the variety and vastness of the Africanbush. Her custom art reflects elements from both locations and the complex coexistence ofurbanity and nature.Trinka works in clay to create custom art for home decor. She uses clay as her artistic mediumbecause of the way it feels, its tireless unpredictability and technical challenges, and the endlessvariety of surface treatments. She fires each piece multiple times to build layers of oxide, glaze,underglaze, or luster. Every piece is unique, which underlines clay’s basic connection to the earthand complements the intrinsic one-of-a-kindness in nature. Her aim is to appeal to both youngand old viewers through the playful quirkiness inherent in her sculptures.
