Artist Trenna Daniells announced that she has been selected as the summer artist for the St. Julien Hotel and Spa in Boulder, CO. Her work will debut at the hotel on July 3, 2015. Over 40 original paintings will be on display and for sale through the end of September. Her Colorado themed work is representational in style. The show will feature landscapes and wildlife from the surrounding area. She also will be including a few of her Italian travel pieces.
"I really love doing private commissions and have developed a unique ability to paint places that my clients have visited. Now days it seems our memories of special travels get stuck on an electronic drive or in photo albums. I thoroughly get pleasure from painting a special travel experience that enables the client to relive that memory again.”
Trenna is a 'Painter of Journeys'. If there is a particular reaction to traveling to exotic places, it must be the traveler’s desire to bring it home. And share it. She specializes in private commissions for clients who wish to bring their travels to life in paintings that will then hang in their homes and evoke memories of their cherished travel adventures. Trenna's unique paintings allow clients to share those memories every day with everyone who might enter a home, office or other public space.
"My paintings first live in the imagination at the end of my brush," Trenna stated. "They are stories in which I don’t know the ending until they are completed. I create something that never existed before. I can use my inspiration to evoke a feeling in another living being. I can communicate with color, hue, light, shadow and texture. I can speak heart-to-heart with another person without ever uttering a word, without ever seeing or touching that person, without ever meeting them. It’s powerful, and it makes my heart sing."

About Trenna Daniells:
Trenna began her journey into art in high school and college in the Pacific Northwest. She continually won awards for her involvement in the arts, which often led to painting giant murals and backdrops for the school plays. She won awards for the Art and Music programs at Mt Hood College.She studied with famed Navajo Shaman and artist David “Chetlehe” Paladin in Prescott Arizona. His artistic techniques and spiritual teaching still touch her and influence her work today.
Her philosophical nature and motherhood sparked a need to write and for several years Trenna painted with words and developed a series of self-responsibility adventure stories for children. Her return to her studies at the UCLA Design School in California in 1989 brought back to life the roots and the longing to return to her art. It seemed to be very natural to apply architectural insights to creating a series of tropical fantasy island huts and a series of greeting cards. Her work was soon appearing in Aloha Airlines, Artists of Hawaii, and hanging in the Collectors Galleries on Maui and Kauai pastels for their hotel in Las Vegas. Her work hangs numerous resorts around the world including Sandals Resort on Negril Beach in Jamaica.
Safaris to Africa kindled her intense desire to paint endangered wildlife. On top of a canvas richly inlaid with gold leaf and natural pigments she combines ancient symbols and exotic birds and animals. In Trenna's paintings the animals speak volumes with their eyes and are often found in their natural habitat contrast against the rich treatment of gold. She is a featured artist in the “Best of Wildlife” edition from North Light Books.
Trenna is currently living at Lake Valley in North Boulder and is “Romancing the Rockies". With it’s rich history and scenic beauty she finds The Rockies a constant source of inspiration. She participates in shows at the Rembrandt Yard Gallery, The Open Art Studio Tour, Colorado Horse Rescue Events, Boulder Humane Society and will be the featured artist of the summer at the 5 Star St Julien Hotel in Boulder Colorado.
Her works hang in homes from Aspen, Boulder, Vail, Beaver Creek and the Hawaiian Islands.
