Peter, born in London in 1963, now based in Essex, studied for his Art Foundation course at Southend-On-Sea College Of Technology and went on to obtain a BA from the Norwich School of Art, graduating with honours, in the mid-eighties.
In common with many Art Graduates, Peter struggled to find representation for his work and quickly resigned himself to a career outside the Art industry. Twenty years later, with a new resolve to succeed, he is painting full-time again and has worked on a number of commissions recently as a result of his activities on internet auction sites. His continuing competition success is an indicator of the quality of his work and the respect the industry, us included, has for this outstanding Artist.
