Hi I'm Peter. I work from a small studio in Pocklington in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

I have recently exhibited at the 250th Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2018 in the Grayson Perry RA 'yellow room' (Room III, on what has been called the 'Brexit Wall'). I previously exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2016, selected by David Remfry RA for Room VII.

I was closely involved in the early days of the computer revolution in Cambridge in the 80's, and spent the 90's being an IT salesman and network consultant based in York.

I came to art late in my career and have had no formal art training.

I was educated in biology, anthropology and psychology, and later in Information Technology, in Cambridge, Oxford and Leeds.
