Peter’s Work
Art has been an important part of my journey.
Art has given me a way to share my voice, my story and a way in which to connect.
My words and stories are embedded in every piece I create.
I first started painting in 2003 as a form of therapy, to assist with overcoming Post Traumatic Stress, from abuse I experienced in a care facility. Creativity allowed me to paint through the darkness and the pain into a place of peace, happiness and colour.

I am now an exhibiting artist, my work has been exhibited in galleries such as Gympie and Gladstone Regional Galleries the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre and I regularly take part in ‘Art From The Margins’ and ‘Immanuel Arts Festival’.
