But since I’m a body painter, I thought it would be cool to reimagine that place as Adams saw it and paint the river on the model but still reflect what the place looks like today merging art history with this contemporary happening. 'However, because it was taken eighty years ago, the trees have grown up and covered the river so you don’t see the same through lines. For example, there’s a beautiful image Ansel Adams took at Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park.

'Then I started virtually navigating all the logistics of casting, travel, accommodations, survival gear, finding where I would actually shoot and directions to hike there without cell reception. I printed out images and turned my wall into a giant vision board,' Trina explained. 'First I just did some dreaming and researched different parks. Preparation for the images also took quite a lot of time. 'My boyfriend Matthew Simmons came to most of the locations and he even stripped down at Yellowstone’s Biscuit Basin and got painted.' Rainier and Hoh Rainforest, the quietest place in North America,' she said. We both turned forty this year so it's been epic. 'Some really special moments were getting to have a Washington State art adventure with Ann Marie Ogle, my ride or die, who I’ve known since the first grade.

She selected 11 models, who all wore KN95 masks - which can be seen in some of the images - the shoot. Lots of work: Preparation for the images also took quite a lot of time (pictured: Yellowstone Falls) 'Having this break has allowed me to actually bring this art idea to life and I’m grateful for the experience.' 'I’ve dreamed about doing something like this for years but am usually so booked up in the fall with commissions,' she said. She also had more time for this particular project than she normally would. So, as COVID-19 cases dropped in some parts of the country, Trina jumped on the opportunity for a new art project. 'I’m used to traveling and being on the street, body painting nude people, so having a pandemic hit where I can’t be within six-feet of another person has really had a big impact on me.'
