Welcome to Lycia Trouton's Art Website

Testimonal extract

"Lycia's work is perched, swaying, teetering and fully enjoying the loss of equilibrium...I am struck by her unique, mystic, creative power... With Lycia the mold was most certainly broken."

Steve Murakishi. Former Head, Printmaking. Cranbrook Academy of Art, USA

"Lycia Trouton’s environmentally conscious and complex monumental work with natural and so-called waste materials is compelling, intellectually rigorous, and just plain beautiful. In her work, she is helping us learn again how to live together on this fragile, damaged sphere."

Ben Mitchell, Art Curator/Editor, The Nicolaysen Art Museum, Wyoming, USA. Former senior curator, Yellowstone Art Museum; former director and has been panelist throughout the North West for state and city arts councils’ fellowships and grants; was a 2004 NEA panelist.

"The desire for understanding, from the very external and political to the very personal, is the impulse for Lycia Trouton's work."

Gerry Craig, Associate Professor/Art Department Head, University of Kansas, Manhattan, KS, USA.

About The Linen Memorial to the Lost Lives of Northern Ireland’s sectarian violence –

Your reader-viewers' own intertwining of religious and ethnic traditions is, itself, a testament to reconciliation. I made a documentary which had girls in Ireland recite their names and county of origin – naming is a simple but powerful way to honour lives.

About The Linen Memorial to the Lost Lives of Northern Ireland’s sectarian violence –

You have created a most appropriate memorial. The Irish linen floats through the air like it breathes life itself.

Carolyn Kramer, Painter, based in Vancouver, B.C., Canada and Los Angeles, California, USA.

Wish I could be there to see your work. The Linen Memorial is really a very interesting concept.

Pat George, Sculptor, Senior Academic in Visual Arts, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
