TRICIA O'NEILL photographer sign painter artist serial learner

    Tricia's photography reflects the dichotomy of the two worlds she divides her time between; working as a commercial sign painter--where she frequents a variety of venues from auto body shops, service departments to Fenway Park, painting signs--and applying her education, a BFA degree from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, where she majored in photography. Her demanding working and academic lives cause her to photograph where she is... lettering a vehicle in a body shop, spending time in Gloucester, or traveling abroad to sign meets. Tricia uses her camera to apply visual skills, refined over many years in the sign business, to her surroundings as she uncovers new layers of artistic expression in the photographic medium.
