Peter Brown
My work explores the relationship between how we are able to experience the world around us, both physically and emotionally. The inspiration and motivation behind each piece is to
develop an understanding of the relationship between myself and the work, through its development and as a finished piece.
An interest in this relationship with my own artwork, and the emotive potential that art has held over mankind throughout history, led me to study for an MA in Art Psychotherapy at Leeds University, so that I may be able to combine my passion and understanding with the healing and recovery of individuals who have suffered trauma or abuse and struggle to communicate their feelings.
Born in London in 1953 it is only recently, in 2007, that I relocated to East Yorkshire where I work from a studio located within 19th century farm buildings on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, a landscape that both influences and inspires my work and my life.
