Today we’d like to introduce you to Trisha Mondesir.
Trisha, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I started as a model and ended being an entrepreneur/business owner. Modeling was always a passion of mine and for a few years I was working with local talents around Boston. Making a really good name for myself my height was always a big factor and never brought me where I wanted to be. Yes, it was discouraging at first, but another path was ahead of me when I accidentally fell in love with acting by sneaking on a movie set. I found another calling and I dived right in.
Becoming an actor put a lot of perspective and goals in my life that I wanted to accomplish and after being on set for a few months, practicing my craft I ended landing a leading role in an independent movie called Sella’s Kitchen. Throughout that journey I joined a group of like-minded creatives and deiced to make a clothing line Called Visuals Paris. My story evolved from something I was passionate about to something I’m in love with.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
Cliché as it may sound, I am my art. It’s my evaluation of growth. I model, act, and a co-owner of a fashion company. I shoot from time to time but currently I am focusing on improving my acting abilities by taking classes and going to auditions left and right and working on my fashion company. We make luxury street apparel and really take pride is the message we bring to the world.
Personal growth, life experiences, gender equality, and art. We shed light on these keys factors because it’s important to educate, create, and inspire by the voices of the future. By inter-twinging new voices and fashion art will no longer feel a dying breed. Being opinionated and stylish is not just for politicians but for millennial’s as well! We are conscious creatives.
The sterotype of a starving artist scares away many potentially talented artists from pursuing art – any advice or thoughts about how to deal with the financial concerns an aspiring artist might be concerned about?
I’ve written a piece on my site about financial difficulty and being a creative is very difficult. Honestly go as far as half of your coins will take you. Even if you have to work a crumy part-time to pay those bills, pay those bills! It took me awhile to understand not everything you do is a right investment.
I’ve been broke going to fashion shows, photo shoots and never got the pictures or even stay connected with anyone. I’ve also worked a 9-5 and hated every second of it. It’s not in us to live a “normal lifestyle”. Pick and choose what and who you want to spend your money on. Make a plan save money and execute that, carpool to set location because more than not you’ll see a friendly face, be frugal with your finance!
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
