Born and raised in South Carolina, Trey Finney attended the College of Charleston. In 1984 he transferred to Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida where he graduated in 1987 with a degree in Illustration. In 1989, after two years of working as an architectural illustrator, he was hired by Walt Disney Feature Animation and spent the next fifteen years as an animator with the Florida studio. During his time there, Disney offered many continuing education classes. In particular, a painting workshop inspired a more personal journey, culminating in the decision to leave the animation field and pursue a full time career in fine art. Since then, he has been painting continously. His wildlife and landscape paintings convey a style he refers to as “Natural Impressions,” an impressionistic style with an emphasis on color, drawing, and an underlying abstract design that allows for an interpretation, rather than an artistic copy of a particular subject.
