Trisha and Lanna talk about the coffee-house culture, West Coast living and being a “Mainer.” Trish relives being 18 years old and being hopped up on Esspresso. They talk about fiber/sewing art, being arty, and flowers as an ephemeral medium. And they barely scratch the surface of Trisha’s awesomeness.

Trisha Smith is a Maine Master Floral Designer, an artist, and, at times, a female female impersonator. She lives in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine.
