Peter, born in Worcester is largely a self taught artist. After voluntary retirement from British Telecom, he took painting and woodcarving more seriously. He is a tutor at Bevere Vivis Gallery on the outskirts of Worcester and also runs life painting classes.

Peter is a versatile multi-media painter matching the medium to the subject. His preferred subjects being the figure, portraits, boats, harbours, seascapes, caricatutes and cartoons. He also likes the freedom and interesting effects of semi abstract painting.

His connection with the ballet stems from his time as a pit musician playing for shows.

Amongst his commission works are portraits, churches, Cornish fising villages and lifeboats as he is a keen supporter of the R.N.L.I.
