TREVOR HADDRELL
“Asparagus and other friends.”
“I divide my time between relief engraving and drawing or painting in a variety of media. Townscapes, other Architectural themes and studies from the Natural World ( ie: my garden or allotment ) are my favourite subjects, though cats, opera and astronomical subjects creep in from time to time, too.”
