About Trevor Newton
TREVOR NEWTON was born in Lancashire, England in 1959. After studying History of Art at Cambridge University, he later became the first full-time teacher of the subject at Eton College.

Through his dealer Nicholas Bowlby, Trevor Newton’s work has been regularly exhibited and sold at the Watercolour and Drawings Fair at the Royal Academy and the Works on Paper Fair at the Science Museum. It has also been shown at the 20/21 International Art Fair at the Royal College of Art in London and at the Affordable Art Fair. One-man shows have been held at the CatStrand Gallery in Dumfries and Galloway, at Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk and at the Sloane Club, London.
