Born in Portland Oregon in the late 50’s, to fourth generation Oregonians he had the rare opportunity to see the wild places before they where spoiled forming his earliest childhood memories. Special places past from generation to generation before urban sprawl and all its requirements touched nature. He has been a naturalist, artist and photographer since his preteen years and has always had a special interest in the ocean and the natural places that surround it. He has visited many of these remote places from the water by kayak or boat as reflected in his paintings and stories.

Trubs art has been described as a cross between Winslow Homers, “independence from artistic conventions and his primal relationship of man to nature” and Emily Carr’s, “symbolism of a vanishing landscape captured in her watercolors of skies, forests and Native Indian cultures of the Pacific Northwest in a style noted for its intense energy and shimmering light”.
