Trevor Banks spent many years as a photographer, draftsman, and designer prior to working in the computer industry as a scientific programmer. Retirement enabled him to enjoy spending time sketching and painting outdoors. He carries compact supplies so he can easily sketch from the window of a train, sitting on a dock, or looking at street scenes from a patio. He loves to sketch and paint a variety of subjects of whatever sparks his interest, creating memories of his many travels around the world.
