About

Trinity Barnett is a contemporary wildlife artist who paints the animals that touch her heart, working primarily in oil over layers of acrylic. Through expressive mark-making, pattern, and atmospheric backgrounds, she creates artwork that moves beyond traditional wildlife portraiture, allowing the animal itself to remain the focus.

Her connection to wildlife began on the beaches of South Florida, where her grandfather, a marine-life painter, instilled in her a deep respect for the natural world. That early foundation grew into a lifelong devotion to animals and, ultimately, a career in wildlife conservation. For more than a decade, she worked as an animal ambassador, wildlife educator, and aviculturist. These experiences shaped the way she sees and portrays the animals she paints.

Trinity’s work is rooted in the belief that we are all citizens of the Earth and that a deeper connection to the animals we share this planet with can inspire us to care for them. She hopes to use her art as a way to give back, supporting wildlife conservation and organizations working to protect the species and wild places that inspire her. Her artwork is now held in private collections across the country, bringing her passion for wildlife into homes far beyond her studio.
