1954 -

Trevor Hall, born in England, spent his formative years in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. He was educated at Ashville College where, under the guidance of John B. Nellist he developed his passion for the arts and oil painting in particular. After completing his secondary education, he studied at the local art college prior to commencing an honours degree in Graphic Design at Leeds. This was followed by a post-graduate qualification in Art teaching at the University of London.

For the next two decades Trevor taught Visual Arts and Graphic Design at Greenshaw High School in Sutton, Surrey.

In 1998 as part of the Commonwealth Exchange Teachers programme, he spent a year teaching in Australia at Our Lady of Mercy College, Parramatta. He returned the following year to take up permanent residency.

He then taught in the west, and the south of Sydney, prior to retiring to the Illawarra.

His artworks comment on and reflect his observations of the culture and environment in which he now lives. Often executed in oil paint on canvas in an impressionist style, they utilise narrative and symbolic elements to explore their meaning.

Isolation, loneliness, remoteness, seclusion and solitude are all themes running through the paintings. They often refer to man’s place within the monumental scale of the Australian landscape.
