Everybody, meet my buddy Trisha (aka Twiggy) and she is my special buddy with a wicked amount of talent. We went to high school together and met (in art class) during my junior year (her senior year). We also had physics together (where I helped her cheat, haha). And I can honestly say that she's one of the most talented people I know.

I had the pleasure of seeing her work in person, both finished and as works in progress. And let me tell you, the photographs do nothing for the real pieces, they are amazing. She currently does commission work for community members, friends, and family. Although she doesn't sell her work online, you can take a look at her skill through her DeviantArt gallery.

Sometimes she shows me new pieces and I'm like, "Holy #&@*! That's a painting?!" Yeah. She gets that a lot. I try not to let it get to her head, but I'm not sure how well that's working. Just kidding. She's awesome about it.

At the end of her senior year, as she was cleaning out her art cubby, she gave me this painting and one of her linoleum prints. I hope she gets famous one day, she deserves it (although she cheated in physics, lol). Although I give her a hard time about everything, she knows it's because I care.
