For more than four decades Pete Underhill was fortunate enough to have trod a career path that never strayed from creativity. Covering graphic design, illustration, advertising, marketing, print, photography, garment embellishment, calligraphy, typography and embroidery (plus a few others, but that would be showing off) – he eventually came to his senses and embraced the freedom of fine art, where there’s no brief to respond to nor deadline to meet except his own.
Through portraiture, still life and contemporary realism, Pete continues to explore his artistic development using a variety of traditional processes.
He says his motivation to make art comes from the acceptance that this life we are blessed with is all too short and, therefore, he hopes to leave behind a stain with which he would be satisfied.
