Trent Robert

Robert has lived with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) since birth, a condition characterised by multiple joint contractures and muscle defects. After attending Chailey Heritage School and Hereward College in the UK, he went on to achieve and obtain a BSc in Information Systems.

In 1985, Robert began working as an IT analyst at Southampton General Hospital. He later joined Ordnance Survey in Southampton as an information risk analyst and was promoted to Senior Information Risk Manager in 1994.

In his search for a rewarding work-life balance, Robert took up mouth painting, which soon became his greatest passion. In recognition of his talent, the VDMFK awarded him a scholarship in 1998. In 2013, he became an Associate Member of the Association.

Robert paints primarily in watercolours and oils, focusing on quintessential English landscapes, boats, and Christmas scenes. He has held numerous solo exhibitions across the UK, where his work has been enthusiastically received by the public. His artistic achievements have also been featured widely in the media.
