Yes, now kinda famous in the theatre world and soon to be perhaps, entering an even wider sphere. Prop master Matt Frew, asked me, back in October 2017 if I'd want to carve a giant gold baby for an upcoming play at Playwrights Horizons. I said, "Sure!". Finally with the materials loaded into the shop out in Queens the end of October, and some tools to start out with, I kinda stared at the two giant 8 foot blocks of foam and wondering what I had gotten myself into... But I went to it, hacking at it with a sawsall for a day and then acquiring a 4' hotwire bow, started to make some decent progress in busting out the form. I luckily had assistance about a week and a half into the project from a trusted artist friend and former colleague at a certain wax museum. Well, I have to say, I'm a proud giant golden baby mama!   https://www.instagram.com/p/BeWTTqtAgZV/?taken-by=phnyc https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ed0b9d55b412ec685ff32/1685378384316-H9WHZSIMDU8L2L0WFXG9/0E036070-B1BE-42ED-87BE-B6D6131AFFCD.jpeg Work - Roast Goose Made for a production at Lincoln Center Theatre, this was created by carving polystyrene, wings and legs were separate pieces later attached. Using modpodge to create a skin texture over the entire surface after it was then with carefully painted to create a nice roast coloring. Adding hand made garnishes of russet potatoes sculpted from model magic, and premade lemons and apples, this mouth-watering dish was complete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ed0b9d55b412ec685ff32/1685390291054-3EKSHKFPL08BE4SW81J0/IMG_6404.jpeg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ed0b9d55b412ec685ff32/1544714498122-FTPKDRY31B5QRDXZUTEC/IMG_4345.jpeg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ed0b9d55b412ec685ff32/1777309962653-IIDF37BEGMX9AX1K8QT9/IMG_3729.jpeg Work - Pixilated Mask- JOB the play Role: Mask Designer and Fabricator JOB HELENE HAYES THEATRE BROADWAY Directed by: Michael Herwitz Materials: Worbla (thermoplastique), acrylic paint, Wonderflex Created using impressions from life casting of original cast member, this mask uses the form of layered material and intentional gaps to represent constructed and deconstructed identity. Obsessive searches on the internet and the evils of modern technology are part of the play’s subject matter that the mask must connect to. The idea of pixels and pixilation came to mind, conveyed by varying sized squares layered and scattered, painted in varying flesh tones, to help form the image desperately searched for. Is this an obsessive delusion of one’s mind putting random pieces together to form a fabricated monster? Or is it a disintegrating facade to reveal the monster behind? https://proptrinka.squarespace.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ed0b9d55b412ec685ff32/10ada9bb-1640-4166-b6c5-9157ae2b3ca8/IMG_3883.jpeg About - Hello! Hello, Bonjour! My name is Patrice and I am an American Ex-pat from New York City, currently based in Belgium (Wallonia Region). I arrive in Europe with a 20 year career working as a behind-the-scenes artist in theatre, mainly as a Properties Artisan and Properties Supervisor in the New York City/Tri-State region. I have created work for Broadway, Off-Broadway and Regional/Opera Festivals and worked with internationally renowned designers and directors. I specialize in a variety of painting techniques, and thoroughly enjoy creating masks, puppets, fake food, as well as realistic dead animals. Along with years of developing a variety of skillsets through on-the-job experiences, I have a BFA in Fine Art Painting from SUNY Purchase (2003). I also have been lucky to participate in workshops hosted by international artists abroad and through Zoom.
