I feel like my house and my paintings match. There’s a lot of nature and animals and the colors are the same. I think it’s just like a three dimensional reflection of what I paint in a way.
Trish Grantham is an artist, collector, and interior designer living in Portland, Oregon. She's recently been designing a number of knock-outwallpapers that are being hand-painted by artist Michael Paulus that are just blowing us away. Trish has been a close friend of Needmore for over a decade—our founders met at an art show of hers—and so it was a great pleasure to have her on The Job.
The idea is that candy doesn’t have to be over-manufactured gross stuff. It’s still a luxury—or not even a luxury because cheap candy is cheap candy—but it’s something that people still really indulge in and then make this other type of candy that cost more but is better. I think for some reason, especially with parents and things, it is really speaking to people at this point.

I think it’s also a little bit like in performing arts. It’s the same energy you get from doing a performance or even if it’s others that are performing, it’s so thrilling to see people enact or take part into something that you’ve set up and take it to wherever they want to.

...there’s one photograph that I shot, it was in color and it was of a building. It was just the lines of a building and I knew I shot it in a way that was not typical and I just felt like was something there. I remember I was showing it to my teacher and he would just grade them really haphazardly and he paused on that one for a while and he went, “Hmm” nodded his head and gave it a good one and I was like yeah I knew it. It’s legit.
