Pete Davies

My paintings are a mirror of myself, a visual representation in colour of my experiences and how I see the world. I hope that you will be able to find in them something that resonates and reflects a memory in your own life’s journey.

My paintings are valuable to me but they are also transient just as my life is. I don’t expect my work to outlive me, but I would like people to enjoy it while I am here.

I attended Eastbourne College of Art when I was young but then life took me away to the North Sea and the diving industry for 35 years.
When the North Sea decided it had no more use for me, I took up painting again, deciding at first to paint life in the offshore world of the North Sea before it disappeared forever.

I have been short-listed for the following exhibitions:

The Royal Society of Oil Painters
