BROWN, Trevor 'Turbo'

When I paint I feel like I’m in the Dreamtime and can see all the animals and birds that live there.

Trevor ‘Turbo’ Brown, it is said, would only paint animals, because when he was fifteen years old and homeless, living on the streets of Mildura and on the banks of the River Murray, they were his only friends.
