Peter studied at Manchester Regional College of Art.  He was awarded a County Art Scholarship to study at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London.

Following a period in the army, he entered the grocery industry.  He recently retired as a Director of Safeway.  Although he did not pursue painting and sculpture as his professional career he continued to practice and exhibit throughout his working life.

He has exhibited with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, with the Society of British Artists in the Mall Galleries and is a regular exhibitor with the United Society of Artists at the Westminster Gallery.  He is a member of the Surrey Sculpture Society, Chairman of Guildford Art Society 2003 and a member of Woking Society of Arts.

His paintings are mainly atmospheric landscapes using a variety of media to capture the light, colour, textures and patterns of nature.  His sculptures are figurative.  He often works directly with resin to create rhythmic sculptures of animals and people.  He is married with two children and is active in his local church.
