This Month's Tawk
Turning Ideas into Art. In conversation with exhibiting artist, Bernard Trainor 

Drawing on thirty-five years of passionate commitment to the study and practice of landscape design, Bernard approaches his art through a personal lens of unique observations of both wild and built landscapes throughout the world. His art is focused on the lasting images he absorbed living on the edge of the Australian and Californian coastlines. Bernard will share how each painting is part of a thread in the series of works in his exhibition, Grounded, on view through February 9thLearn more about the exhibition. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Bernard Trainor was raised on the Mornington Peninsula along Australia’s rugged South Eastern Coast near the city of Melbourne. It was here that he developed a lasting awareness and appreciation of the potent landscapes that inspired him to pursue a career in art and design.

Bernard arrived in Northern California over twenty years ago where he is the founding principal of Ground Studio, which has evolved into the fifteen person landscape architecture studio based in Monterey and Napa.

The studio’s designed landscapes are featured in the 2014 Princeton Architectural Press published monograph ‘Landprints’ and the upcoming ‘Ground Studio Landscapes’ (in May 2019) and these can be seen on his website groundstudio.com.
