This Weeks Featured Artist - Peter Radley - Designer/Sculptor

 

Born in Yorkshire, England, and schooled at a Quaker Institution that fostered my interests in art, I attended the Falmouth School of Fine Arts for an initial Foundation Year course followed by the degree 1973-8. A fire that destroyed both building and work interrupted this. Instead opportunity arose to visit Australia, then New Zealand, working in Napier as a graphic artist in the advertising and print trades, and so much liked the way of life, landscape and people, that I stayed becoming a citizen in 1979. Since then I have worked as a solo artist and craftsman in Central Hawkes Bay and currently in Ohiwa, in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, where I have a studio/workshop at home. Here I am inspired by the local nature to produce work reflecting the NZ landscape and culture. I exhibit in Auckland, Wellington and Taupo. My work is made from local wood, stone, and shell.
