Born in Atlanta in 1971, Trey has always been involved with art. While in high school, he was one of 10 students in the state chosen for the Governors Honors Program. Similar honors followed him in his undergraduate work at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude and was salutatorian of his class. After getting his Masters at Georgia State, he continued there as an instructor of figure drawing, and plans one day to return.

Favoring still life, Trey also enjoys doing abstracts, working mostly with mixed media.
His aim is to create objects worth perceiving and believes that “as long as one teaches, one learns”.
