Artist Statement:
Janice Trimpe's sculptures
exude life much like Janice
Trimpe herself. Trimpe of
Grosse Pointe, MI. says of her
work, "The gift of life is an
inherent gift from our creator
and, as an artist, I feel
obligated to share my talent
with others."
In the last twenty three
years, Trimpe has shared this
gift with others through her
art and in her personal life.
A mother of three, Trimpe
solely supported herself and
her family in the 1970's as an
oil painter and a potter and
then she went on to study at
Detroit's prestigious Center
for Creative Studies (CCS) in
the late 70's. After only
twelve weeks of schooling, the
CCS faculty recognized her
talents and awarded her with a
full time studio in which to
work and create. Trimpe
studied sculpture at CCS for
three and a half years and in
1976 went on to set up a
studio in downtown Detroit's
Lafayette Building where she
sculpted portrait busts in the
window. Her work there
attracted the attention of
many prominent people and in
the next few years, Trimpe was
asked to sculpt over 200
portrait busts. Her
assignments included Governor
G. Mennen...
