Trisha Romance is an American-born Canadian painter and illustrator of popular realistic and idyllic subjects.
Romance's work commonly features domestic settings, family events, and holiday scenes, "ideal[s] in family life", [1] reminiscent of artists in the American Scene Painting tradition.
She showed her first work, "Speaking of Spring" work in 1978. [2]
An oversize book of her illustrations, The World of Trisha Romance, was published by Studio, a Penguin imprint, in 1992. [3] It contains 130 full-color reproductions of Romance's paintings, many of which had not previously been published. [4] She is also the author of A Star for Christmas, a children's book published in 2007 [5] by Tundra Press. [6]
Many of Romance's works are available as reproduction prints using the giclée process, and on posters and collectible plates. [7]
In 2010, Romance proposed creating the Romance Inn on the grounds of the former Randwood estate in Niagara-on-the-Lake, [8] which would consist of a 100-room lodging facility and restaurant, as well as a cultural centre with studio space available where "guests may explore their creative talents and be inspired by their own creations". [9] The proposal met with some opposition from local residents, [10] [11] and evenly divided the town council — the proposal only received approval when the mayor cast the deciding vote in favour. [12] Though the plan was approved, the project never got off the ground. [13]
Romance is a member of the Order of Ontario (since 1996), [14] [15] [16] the province's highest honour. [16] She also is a winner of the Canadian Artist of the Year Award in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998. [17]
She carried the Olympic Torch through Niagara-on-the-Lake during the relay leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia. [18]
Romance has been featured on Fred Anderton's "You Asked" series on CHCH News, [19] on 100 Huntley Street's Full Circle, [20] and on 'Person 2 Person with Paula Todd', a TV Ontario interview program. [21]
Romance was born in Hamburg, New York [22] in 1951. [19]
She moved to Canada in 1969 to attend Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, where she received a degree in design and illustration. [23]
Along with her children and her husband, Gary Peterson, who is also her manager and promoter, [5] Romance lives in Niagara-On-The-Lake in Southern Ontario, Canada, [6] where she also maintains a gallery of her works. [24]
