Trevor Bly
Secondary Visual Art Technician, Merici House

Commencing at the College in 2017, Trevor Bly brings a wealth of knowledge to his role of Visual Art Technician. With over 15 years of industry experience, Trevor is a practising artist who has exhibited artworks and run workshops throughout Western Australia. This holidays you can find him working with the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA), offering a Screen Printing workshop for secondary students.

From set painting for our College productions, in-class assistance, supporting students at both internal and external exhibitions, and running extra-curricular programs, he is a valuable member of our Arts team and College community.

What extra-curricular activities have you been involved in?

I have run the graffiti art program – we have painted several on-site murals, including three sides of the shed at the rear of the James Nestor Auditorium, as well as the bus stop out the front of the hard courts on Dean Road.

I also attended the 2018 and 2021 Visual Art Tours.

The 2018 Melbourne Tour involved a three-day drawing workshop at the Victorian College of the Arts, soaking up the culture of Melbourne, visiting many galleries, and giving the students an opportunity to leave their mark on the city with a street art mural in Hoiser Lane.

The 2021 Wheatbelt Tour was six days centred around the state’s biggest mural project: the large-scale FORM public mural art silo trail. The roundtrip showcased the West Australian narrative and allowed students to develop a body of work in response to the striking scenery – ‘outcomes-based making’ in site-specific locations.
