PETER'S PAGE
 

Croeso! Welcome to my page. I have spent my entire career involved in art in some way - from art directing, illustration, lecturing and painting. It's the 'painting' bit that I do full time now that I have retired to the mountains of Snowdonia. I think it is about this stage that I am expected to say something profound and supremely intellectual. Forget it! I'm just a painter and I paint what I see - strange concept in a world of dead cows, piles of  bricks (or was it elephant dung?) and coloured dots on white ground. I think my work is labelled 'figurative' - yep, figurative. Sounds about right. Bit of an old fashioned concept really - honesty, integrity and all that stuff.
As a professional lecturer I have developed and delivered many art courses in North Wales and south Buckinghamshire during the past thirty years as well as working as Creative Group Head for Saatchi and running my own communications business. Among my many achievements I have gained the "Marketing Award of the Year" and three D&AD Awards (equivalent to the BAFTA Awards but in Art and Design). Throughout this period I have been drawn back time and again to Snowdonia like a yo-yo on caffeine. Many hours have been spent exploring and recording the extraordinarily wild landscape and the indelible legacy of slate quarrying that has been etched on every conceivable facet. I am now fortunate to live in this area and pursue my passion full time. My other hobbies include writing and playing the violin (anything from Jerry Bock to Mendelssohn, Bach and Vivaldi)
