About Trish Harding:

Trish Harding was born in Washington State and grew up on Lummi Island, literally feet from the water’s edge with a magnificent view of Mt Baker at the same time. She is the Salish Sea. 

Her formal art training includes Western Washington State College (now WWU), and The Academy of Art University, San Francisco.

Trish is owner of Studio UFO in Bellingham, which has proven to be the hot spot in town for leading edge art and art education. Trish not only teaches painting at Studio UFO she also has been teaching at Whatcom Community College for 22 years, and Portland’s Creative Arts Community for over 20 years, and countless workshops around the Pacific Northwest. She is an art trip leader to various places in the world including Paris, France, San Miguel & Mexico City

Mexico, Yellowstone Park & Cody, Wyoming, Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, Palm Springs, and Victoria BC, Canada.

She has facilitated the Annual Downtown Bellingham Plein Air Paint Out and Exhibition (PAPO) event for 16 years.

In June of this year she moved back to her beloved Lummi Island delving even deeper into living on the edge of the Salish Sea and allowing her plein air work to move naturally in a new direction.
