Abstraction Peter has explored abstraction in his work for over 20 years. He has looked at abstraction in a 'modernist' formal way, as an extension of nature, as a reflection of social order and as a form of emotional expression. Abstraction continues to excite Peter and he looks forward to using it in future projects |

Trees Peter has created many artworks based on the study of nature, particularly trees. He uses the forms and
patterns in trees to inform his other abstract work. He also uses
the form of trees as allegories for human experiences. |

works which explore the emotion and psychology of people. These

Allegory Peter will often explore
complex issues in his images. In these works the whole image will
be a representation of a group of ideas, perhaps around morality,
perverse behavior, family relationships...etc... |

Life drawing Life drawing is a daily part of Peter's practice. He uses it to maintain his skills. For Peter drawing from life is an essential part of his practice. The most important skills which are used in life drawing are 'observation' and 'interpretation'. Peter believes that these 2 skills are essential to all his creative explorations.
