Biography
From an early age Trevor showed an aptitude for art encouraged by his father and inspired by artists of the forties and fifties like Terence Cuneo, Rowland Hilder, Jack Meriot, Claude Muncaster and Wilkinson.
Trevor received formal training in art from the age of thirteen, studying at Moseley School of Art and Birmingham College of Art, where he obtained an honours degree in graphic design. He went on to study at Birmingham School of Art Education gaining a distinction for his Art Teaching Diploma.
After his training as a teacher he became Head of the Art Department at the Heart of England School.
He gave up full time teaching in 1983 to develop his art work. Major Commissions followed and included work for Mercia Sound Radio, Solihull Council and The Queen.
In the 1980’s he was a contributor to the Guardian Newspaper as a cartoonist.
He has co – written, with a teaching colleague a book on handwriting which was published by Edward Arnolds.
Present Day
Today his work as a tutor is in great demand having established the Warwickshire Watercolourists as one of leading leisure painting groups. He runs six workshops a year and all of them are always over subscribed.
Trevor does not rely on agents or galleries to promote his work preferring to sell directly to his clients through major bi – annual exhibitions which he shares with his son Andrew. Two and a half thousand people attended their last exhibition over a four day period, making the two artists and their work directly accessible to the public.
Trevor runs his own publishing business based on their work which is administrated by his wife Wendy Boult.
