Aja Trier is a fine artist residing in Scotia, NY. She attended Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA with a concentration in painting from 2001-2003. Since she began her work, she has sold her pieces to collectors across the world.
Trier’s artistic influences include a wide range of artists past and present; from Susan Rothenberg and Cecily Brown to Audrey Kawasaki and Erik Jones, and of course, Vincent van Gogh. Working tirelessly from her home studio where she lives with her son Andrew, she is constantly striving to discover new avenues with which to convey her artistic vision.
Trier cleverly paints using van Gogh’s swirling Starry Night Style which is her signature style. While she continues to analyze this world famous work of art for inspiration, she has been using her insights to recreate more pups.
Her Starry Night Dogs series imagines a world in which our canine friends sat for van Gogh. Much like her previous works, each portrait features the familiar Starry Night sky rendered in the thick brushstrokes characteristic of post-impressionism.
