Hello! I’m
Trilby VanDeusen

I'm a Phoenix-based mixed media artist, designer, and information professional. I create original paintings, up-cycled art, and eclectic accessories characterized by vibrant colors and bold patterns. My work is inspired by the rich textures and striking beauty of the desert landscape.

Artist's Statement

I find color irresistible. I'm obsessed with how it transforms a space, shifts perception, and tells stories. I deliberately push the limits of what we consider "acceptable" color combinations and play with the way your eye actually sees.I am a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, up-cycled media, and graphic design. My practice is deeply rooted in folk and outsider art, drawing inspiration from the rich textures and striking landscapes of the Sonoran Desert and the vibrant energy of graffiti, graphic novels, and urban pop culture. I create work defined by the bold, uncompromising collision of these ancient and contemporary influences.When you work with me, you're working with an artist who's been creating for over three decades and still gets excited about every new palette. Whether you're collecting a piece or commissioning something custom, I'm here to fill your space with color, detail, and beauty.
