Trevor Dahl (b. 1995 in Redding, CA) is a self-taught painter, public artist, and designer known for his whimsical and spirited approach to contemplative and archetypal subject matter. Inspired by mythology, psychology, popular culture, and fantasy, Trevor employs his distinct style to explore ideas about the world, culture, and the human psyche. Interested in mental states and stream-of-consciousness, Dahl's work is often directly improvised. Themes of unity, interconnectedness, acceptance, and the elasticity of Being come through his work, in a wide variety of subjects and medium.
In public art projects and murals, Trevor’s intention is to create memorable and relevant imagery that brings feelings of optimism, play, humor, and soulfulness to public spaces. His murals range in technique from large scale improvisational doodling, to highly intentional commentary on culture and civic issues. He has created murals for many clients in both public and private sectors.
Before his immersion into studio painting and public art, Trevor was in the field of graphic design for a decade, giving him a well-rounded foundation in design thinking through branding, UX, web design, and animation.
Trevor Dahl’s artistic odyssey is not merely an expression of self, but a shared exploration of the universal human experience that transcends medium and category - a visual journey that beckons viewers to find solace, acceptance, and revelation within the intricate tapestry of their own inner landscapes.
