Peter GloverBorn in Tasmania in 1952, Peter was interested from an early age in drawing. Painting with watercolours in Primary School, he became interested in oil painting in High School. With his intriguing curiosity of the atmosphere and landscape, at an early age Peter endeavoured to express his visions of the environment onto canvas. He admits he was heavily influenced by Ivor Boyd who became Peter’s tutor and painting companion and Peter thrived under his tutelage. Peter started his career as a professional painter some 25 years ago. Interpreting the landscape in a Heidelberg school painting mode, Peter has developed his own visions to interpret the Tasmanian Landscape. The influence on his painting is of the Australian Impressionistic tradition. His use of a more free-flowing style with higher colour tones has gained him a reputation for his boldness, energy, and vitality in his works. Over the years Peter has had many exhibitions of his paintings. He has gained a huge following in Tasmania and has also sold paintings in Melbourne and Sydney.
