Peter Barter is the first to admit his life has been anything but conventional. From joining The Navy at 15, to navigating warships, becoming a pilot, and then making the leap to dentistry, you could say his journey has been filled with unexpected twists and turns.

He retired in 2005 and became a self-taught artist and finds his inspiration in the serene and ever-changing vistas of the Suffolk countryside. Based in the charming market town of Eye, Peter's work captures the subtle beauty and atmospheric nuances of the region, translating the rolling fields, ancient woodlands, and expansive skies onto canvas. Through his artistry, we are invited to experience the quiet poetry of the East Anglian landscape.
