ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Drawing
• Painting
• Sculpture

Peter grew up in Northampton, Western Australia where he developed his passion for the Western Australian landscape and country. He has been living in Margaret River since 1993, where he works from his home studio situated on a small property in the forest.
Except for a brief period in the 1980s when he attended Claremont School of Art, he is self-taught. As an Antiques Dealer for 25 years, he dealt in fine art, both antique and contemporary, and this offered exposure to the arts world and a strong commitment to originality in design and excellence in materials. He uses a diversity of media; painting in oils and acrylic, sculpting in wood and steel and sketching in pencil, charcoal and pastel. He has a creative fascination with the natural world, and with the human form.
Peter has had numerous individual and shared exhibitions over a career spanning some twenty years, and has won awards for his Pilbara landscapes and beach littorals, including Bunbury Regional Art Gallery's South West Survey Acquisitive Award and Viewer's Choice Awards. He has been Artist in Residence at Cossack and travels annually to the Pilbara and Kimberley as a continuation of his practice.
Currently exhibiting at Yallingup Galleries, Boranup Gallery, Black Stump Gallery Broome, The Junction Gallery Port Hedland and Checkmate Gallery Bunbury .

He enjoys giving workshops and lessons to small groups by request and undertakes commissions including portraits. Explore more of his work at www.petermoir.com

An established artist who expresses his love of home and country in his vivid and varied work, Peter is renowned for his paintings of south-west beaches and evocative north west landscapes. His home studio also displays his watercolours and sculpture.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

Tucked away in a small cherished forest in a little known pocket of west Margaret River town, my backyard-studio tells the history of my 25 years as a working artist.
Custom designed as a large blank rectangle to enable me to paint the very large canvases in which I specialise, it’s packed with paintings, sculpture, easels, works in progress, finished works on walls and racks, blank canvases waiting to be brought to life, paints, brushes and the occasional grandchild or friend having a happy studio session. I’m very fortunate and very appreciative of having a very welcoming working and creative space, and it’s always peaceful, restful and inspirational to be amongst the bush.

I'm always painting, playing, washing brushes, squeezing in yet another work in progress. I love to talk about my art to others and enjoy showing visitors around.
