After leaving Bradford Art College in 1979 with a Diploma in Art and Design, Trevor began his career as an art director at a London advertising agency. He returned to his native West Yorkshire a few years later and worked for several design studios and advertising agencies before going freelance in 1986.


Commercial illustration work rekindled his love of painting and he was encouraged by finding a market for his work among the publishers of greeting cards and jigsaw puzzles. Art prints of his paintings are now sold worldwide.


Trevor's paintings reflect his enthusiasm for steam and vintage vehicles, his fascination with recreating the past in pictures and his love of the countryside. Trevor has had several paintings in the Gibsons jigsaw puzzle catalogue throughout the years. Caravan Holidays and Harvest Time are other 1000 jigsaw puzzles in the Gibsons catalogue that continue to be consumer favourites.


Grandad's Attic is a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle that tells an enduring and touching story of passing hobbies through the generations. Grandad's train set built up when he was a boy long ago is now an object of fascination for his eager grandson. The trains the models were based on no longer run but their individuality lives on in the minds of those unfamiliar with steam and even diesel powered locomotives.
