Memorial painting of Katrina Lynn Bish_18 x 24 Oil on canvas
I never met Katrina Lynn Bish but I carefully studied her image both in print and digital. Through the process of working on this piece and through the words of those whose life she touched. I grew to know her well.
Everyone called her Trina. She had a larger than life personality and possessed a loud booming voice with a deep and a joyful belly laugh. Trina was always darting around her Baptist Church socializing and talking with everyone. She would ask about their lives, cheering up the ones in need of encouragement with one of her many stories. But she also listened with great empathy and shared her wisdom bringing others comfort with their hopes and fears. Trina’s greatest gifts in her life was helping and loving others in need.
The following are direct quote from those who knew her well.
“To say Trina was loved by all would be an understatement she had a deep faith in God, most spiritually in-tune person I've ever met”.
“Trina’s eyes always had a twinkle and a sparkle, she always reassured others that everything would be ok, Trina would remind you that you will always be loved by God”.
