The pull of the outdoors and the fall of sunlight across the landscape inspire his work, and he can be found exploring the world around him in all seasons and weathers. Through his teaching, workshops and demonstrations he seeks to encourage, equip and help all who love art.

A Member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales and the Pure Watercolour Society, Peter has been painting for over thirty years.
