Boston-born artist Trish Turner lost her battle with cancer on October 16, 2019. Trish is predeceased by her parents Virginia and Patrick Turner of Canton and sister, Judy Page of Jamestown, North Carolina. She is survived by her sisters, Deb Annese (and husband Joe) of Scituate and Ginny Turner of Centerville. Trish loved her many nieces: Melanie Legge (Bryan) and Angela Kelley (Gene) both of Scituate, Jessica Page of Ohio, and Lillian Lowe of Boston; nephews: Ian Lowe of Centerville and Zack Lowe (Tara) of Brighton; and grand-nieces Maddy, Marion, Macie, and Ruby and nephew Patrick. Trish also leaves her large family of friends in Hull who supported her so lovingly through her final battle.

From a young age in Canton to her final days in Hull, she delighted in and interpreted the visual world onto thousands of colorful canvases.

Trish graduated magnum cum laude from Framingham State College in 1974 with a double major in Fine Art Studio and Art History. Since then, she has kept her art alive with many continuing education classes. In the late 70's, she interned at both the Richmond Art Center and the San Francisco Museum of Art in California. While there, she also created promotional posters for nightclubs and "New Wave" bands.

Upon returning to Boston, she began working in amateur video production, shooting live music and other nightclub events. This work led her to more formal training in video production. An internship at Boston Post Productions in 1990 involved a decade of scenic painting, styling, propping, and set-dressing. Styling credits include, among others, Jordan Marsh, Neiman Marcus, Elizabeth Grady, and Ports International. More recently her talents have adorned the windows of Wellspring Multi-service Center in Hull where she worked for 16 years. As a scenic painter, Trish free-lanced for several production and theatre companies, including ART, Emerson Theatre, The Wang, and The Huntington Theatre. As Assistant Charge for Mystic Scenic Studio, she designed and painted sets for the Boston Ballet, Big Apple Circus, Disney World, Disney Cruise Lines, Children's Hospital, Museum of Fine Arts, and others. In addition, she styled corporate sets for many companies, including Lotus, Digital, EMC, Coors, Talbots, Honda, and Sheraton Hotels.

For the past 20 years, Trish lived in Hull where she focused on her own work. During that time, she exhibited at the Hull Lifesaving Museum, Hull Artists Gallery, Simply Smiths in Cohasset, and the South Street Gallery in Hingham. Trish also participated in many Open Studio Tours in Hull. Trish enjoyed painting and teaching with her "En Plein Air" students and continued her own studies of pastel and acrylic painting at the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset. Her work is on display in numerous private collections in Hull and beyond.
