Trisha Dixon
BIOGRAPHY
Trisha is a writer and a photographer with a passion for landscape, literature, music, art and history. She has written, co-authored, edited and photographed a number of books, has edited journals and contributed as a columnist to various publications, lectured widely, sits on the Official Establishments Trust, and Winifred West Schools Company.
Trisha’s latest book Adagio is a meditative look at living an environmentally attuned life, bringing her wide-ranging interests in philosophy, music, art, photography, nature, and the environment. Linking these passions of literature and landscape, Trisha’s previous book Under the Spell of the Ages was published by the National Library of Australia. Her research into the life and landscape designs of Edna Walling has resulted in a number of books, articles and consultancy on her remaining gardens.
A private commission to write the biography of one of Australia’s most interesting pastoral properties where our only Nobel Prize laureate for literature wrote his first novel and other noted Australian poets were also inspired, led her to Greece and the island of Hydra where she now takes photographic and literary workshops.
Trisha is a columnist and does private photographic and landscape commissions, as well as leads specialist private tours within Australia and abroad. Trisha has also worked as a pilot, presenter on ABC Television and is a landscape consultant and Heritage advisor. Trisha lives in an early colonial house on her historic grazing property on the Monaro at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains.
