After leaving art school Pete followed the path of graphic design and has stayed connected to that ever since. There have been a couple of departures, one as an offset litho printer and another as college print technician, but his heart has always been with visual communication. Pete has been fortunate to encounter many creative areas, including jewellery, photography, garment design, a variety of print processes, advertising and marketing, fine art, needlework, typography and illustration. In 2008, after years contemplating ‘giving it a try’, Pete took up oil painting as a way of relaxing. After a couple of attempts of getting to grips with the process he found the medium really suits him. Pete likes to paint people, though the challenge of painting anything excites him. He considers his work contemporary realism.
