Trevor Wayne mines familiar references for his paintings, drawing on totems of consumerism and mainstream entertainment that are well-known to American audiences. Trevor's artist statement is to simply "make people smile", very often by taking dark imagery and flipping it.

​

 Trevor was influenced into a world of art by Saturday Morning Cartoons, and mass production of art he carried with him to school on backpacks, binders, and clothing. He attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago.

​

 Trevor Wayne was born in Chicago, lived on a blueberry farm in Michigan, lived in Hammond, IN (the town the classic "A Christmas Story" is based on), NYC, Los Angeles, and now resides in Palm Springs, CA.
