Pete was born in 1979.

Lives in West Oxfordshire, UK.

His work centres on the landscape and the overlooked areas within it. In many ways we have become increasingly disengaged with nature as our lives have become more digitised. It is not that we take the landscape for granted, Pete feels that we should give ourselves more time to experience it and its existence. Using a mixed media approach allows him to explore a variety of lines, textures and interactions on paper just as a variety of natural occurrences do in the landscape.
His aim is to represent the landscape to the viewer in a new light. Working with concept of ‘conjunctions’ and how a series of points and plains meet within the landscape. These areas of conjunctions are ever changing, evolving, and breathing in front of us. In the shadow of our evolution the landscape has and continues to be a constant before and after we have gone. We are merely custodians for a short time.
How he interprets the landscape through sketches and photographs initially is heavily influenced by the weather, the temperature, the season, the time of day. This affects the natural colours, textures and how he feels whilst developing his works. Each piece Pete produces is, if you like a snapshot, a moment that has gone. At the same time what Pete produces is a document of the history of the landscape. He likes to consider how the subject has got there, what journey of growth it has sustained and for how long? If the landscape could talk directly to us, what would it say? What has it witnessed?

Pete is a Lecturer and since 2008 has worked with students across a broad range of creative practices
