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's inspiration has always been people. From realism, to abstract, to caricature, the essence of a person as captured through an artist in any medium has been a fascination. Trevor attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago on a scholarship due to his skills in figurative drawing.

​

 Trevor Wayne has lived in Hammond, IN (the town the classic "A Christmas Story" is based on), Chicago, NYC, LA, and now resides in Palm Springs, CA.
