Triggs

I am a painter and collage artist. My work is heavily inspired by the swamps, beaches, and tropical flora and fauna associated with my hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida. My paintings share themes of memory, family, relationships, and gender.

I collage from paper towels, receipts, to-do lists, food orders from my restaurant job, and other paper scraps. This texture serves as a surface for most of my paintings. As I drag paint across a textured surface, the brushstrokes do not fill in every crevice. This movement creates a spontaneous, glowing element to my work.
