Born in South London, Trevor has now embraced his passion for art following a long career as an engineer and leader in instrumentation, particularly in medical diagnostics. He works primarily with oils, pastel, and charcoal, though he enjoys experimenting with various styles and media. Since retiring and moving to Emsworth in 2019, he has dedicated himself to portraiture.
Trevor is captivated by the human ability to recognize faces and forms, discerning emotions, character, and allegiances. This skill is vital for social survival and community life. He strives to capture these nuances in his work, focusing on character and mood. With minimal formal training—just a few evening classes many years ago—he has more recently attended courses on oil portraiture with Lindey Alfrey in Stow-on-the-Wold and Jane French at West Dean College.
Trevor has been an active member of the Emsworth Art Group since 2022 and joined the Emsworth Artists in 2024. His first solo exhibition at his house was held in 2025 as part of the Emsworth Arts Trail. He regularly participates in life drawing groups and welcomes commissions.
