ABOUT THE ARTIST
Trinity Seely
Ojai, CA
Trinity Seely's life has taken her to many different places, from the Chilcotin of British Columbia to the high deserts of central Wyoming to the Big Belts outside Cascade, Montana. She now lives in Ojai, California, where she is Director of The Thacher School’s Horse Program. Living and working on cattle ranches across the West has given Trinity a personal perspective on and appreciation for a lifestyle that some say is disappearing. As Jennifer Dennison wrote in Western Horseman, "Music and storytelling are as much a part of working on a ranch as a saddle is to riding horses. Trinity Seely embraces the oral traditions of the cowboy life and offers a musical window into her life as a cowgirl and ranch wife."
