An artist with a passion for seascape painting, celebrating the nature revealed at low tide on the English coast.

Trevor Scobie is a Sussex based artist specialising in marine oil paintings of seascapes and rock-pools. Through capturing the beauty of local coastlines, Trevor aims to raise awareness around marine conservation and biodiversity through paintings that capture subtle moments, and hint at the urgency for preservation. His work captures observations of the turbulent and transient nature of weathering, erosion, and the geology of the coast.

Born in Brighton, Trevor worked as an Illustrator producing numerous book covers for high-profile publishers for over 30 years. From James Bond novels to conceptually led science fiction covers, including Ray Bradbury and Puffin Classics amongst others.

For the last twelve years, his passion for painting in oils has produced a series of seascapes, when rock- pools are left behind as the moon passes on its cycle, and as the tide ebbs and flows twice within each lunar day. Each painting captures a moment in nature with precision and detail, celebrating the beauty of it's impermanence with each painting often taking many months to convey.

Like many children, Trevor was mesmerised by rock-pools and revisits his childhood fascination with his work today.
