TRICIA REICHERT

Tricia Reichert, formerly a nationally accredited high school teacher in Britain, came to the U.S with her husband in 1978. Although she had always been interested in art, most of her artistic expressions were made through her chosen field of Home Economics. When more time became available, Tricia developed her true passion for art and for the past 37 years has studied and practiced drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking.  She specializes in the art of portraiture, of animals and people. Her other areas of expertise and interest include many forms of printmaking and figurative sculpture. She now works as a professional portrait painter and art teacher. Pastel and Watercolor are her mediums of choice for portraits but she also works in pencil, charcoal, sumi and many other inks, gouache, acrylic, oil, printmaking, (etchings, woodcuts, linocuts, solar prints), and clay (figurative sculpture).
