Trevor was born into a sporting family in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Continuing the family tradition, I first played Rugby Union and then professional Rugby League throughout the 60's and 70's.

In complete contrast to my sporting interests I have always been interested in art, eventually studying at the Wakefield College of Art. After my college days I first worked as a carpet designer before becoming a Fine Art Artist and Illustrator with the greeting card publishers W N Sharpe in Bradford.

My career as an Artist and Illustrator took me to various parts of the country but I am now settled back in my beloved home county of Yorkshire.

I am married with two daughters, both now living abroad, the eldest lives in Arizona USA and the youngest in Norway. Through my trips to these countries I have found a tremendous inspiration for the local scenery, but my overiding passion has always been for the English scenery, landscapes and coastal studies which are my specialties.

I have always enjoyed music, especially Country, and I play the guitar to entertain my family and friends.

As you may note I am a man of many interests, one of which is the pursuit of the ancient sport of falconry. I have been a falconer for 20 years and never cease to marvel at the flight of these birds of prey. Amongst my illustrations you will find quite a few studies of these magnificent birds.

As I am now nearing retirement, I feel that I can at last devote more time to my painting and say

" To hell with the work and the gardening! !"

I enjoy undertaking Art Commissions, and I have many satisfied customers..
