Our 2011 Printmaker of the Year was Trevor Price. Trevor was chosen from a short list of artists provided by Printmaking Today magazine, with the final selection made by a panel comprising Printfest organisers and artists. As our Printmaker of the Year, Trevor worked with members of the local community on a large-scale, participatory print which was completed and unveiled at Printfest 2011.

Trevor specialises in drypoints and etchings that are handmade and handprinted from studios in St.Ives and London. His artworks usually represent the intimacy between a couple, sometimes romantic, sometimes erotic and often humorous. Artistic influences include Picasso, Freda Kahlo, Ben Nicholson and Cecil Collins. Location can also be a big influence in the work, and his Cornish roots often feature.

Trevor Price studied at Falmouth and Winchester Schools of Art. He is a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, and exhibits widely throughout Europe, with regular solo shows of both paintings and original prints.. His work is held in various collections including the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), Guangdong Museum of Art (China), Yale University (USA), and The Bank of England.

He has won several national printmaking awards, and has on several occasions been an invited selector for the annual national printmaking exhibition held at the Mall Galleries in London.
