About
I am Trista Morris, and I am a multimedia artist based out of Fort Worth, Texas. Art is incredibly important in this world. The truth is, without art, we would not have buildings to paint, cars to drive, or many of the modern day inventions we currently use to make our lives easier. Art is the foundation of the world around us. Everything began with a sketch, an idea, and a plan. I began creating simple pencil sketches when I was 6 years old to help me cope with the harshness of the world around me. The pencil sketches evolved into different concepts that required more color and depth. I began working with acrylic on canvas when I was 14 and quickly grew to enjoy experimenting with different mediums. I presently still use acrylic the most, but I alternate between acrylic, oil, spray paint, wall paint, watercolor, and gouache. While I enjoy working on canvas, I consider myself to be a multifaceted multimedia artist. I can use any medium available to me to express my creative vision. I have been known to paint on canvas, wood, metal, stone, cars, tables, and walls. It has always been a dream of mine to make art my life and my living. During 2012 I began working for an art studio in Grapevine, Texas. Teaching became a passion for me then. I worked at this studio until the time of it's closure in 2017. I have created work and shown art all over the dfw metroplex. I have completed a total of five murals during my career as an artist. My most recent mural is on the right wall of Josefina's Mex. Cafe over in River Oaks, Texas. This mural is well known in town and managed to make it on to NBC5dfw news. River Oak's Yellow Brick Road was also featured on the cover of the March 2022 issue of the Fort Worth Weekly. Art is a passion that I enjoy sharing with other people as I use painting to mend my own mental health. I enjoy the fact that my own creative healing process can help another human being through a difficult time and in turn heal them as well.
