Having attended art college in Bristol for four years specialising in illustration (under the guidance of Peter Reddick) Peter then worked as a freelance illustrator. After a number of years working in design, he joined the Society of Wood Engravers and began to engrave in 1990.
"Wood engravings are traditionally small, cut into endgrain boxwood and printed from the relief surface. However, the majority of my prints are engraved on Resingrave, a synthetic material designed especially to replicate the quality of boxwood and which allows me to work larger."
