Trevor studied Printmaking at Falmouth and then Winchester School of Art.  On leaving school he found work in a London etching studio; a hugely important time for Trevor learning the skills of professional printmaking.  On returning to Cornwall, Trevor based himself in St Ives, where his work began to change and develop into the distinctive style that we see today.  Trevor has since returned to London, but has maintained the St Ives base, from where he also still works.

Trevor’s subject matter is a reflection of his life.  Some of the prints are about the intimacy between a couple and reflect the time spent drawing his surroundings in St Ives.  Trevor is influenced by the work of other artists notably Picasso but also others including Henry Moore, Henri Rousseau, Elizabeth Frink and Cecil Collins.

Printmaking has given Trevor the opportunity to experiment and to explore the diversity of the medium with impressive results.  At the moment most of his figurative prints are drypoints usually on zinc or Perspex.  The images using Perspex are made by drawing on the surface with a soldering iron, and then printing from those marks.

Trevor has won several national printmaking awards, and is an active member of the Royal Society of Painter/Printmakers.  He exhibits widely throughout Europe and regularly holds solo exhibitions of his paintings as well as his original prints.  His work is held in numerous collections including the Bank of England and Yale University U.S.A.
