Peter Wylie was born in Lowestoft and completed a Foundation there in 1975. He gained a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art from Canterbury College of Art 1978. After several decades pursuing his career, and continuing to paint, he decided to enrol on the MA Fine Art Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art, London (University of the Arts London) 2017.
The North Sea Study paintings are about a journey Peter often makes several times a year. He often returns to themes that make the most of his Suffolk connections. The Studies are a response to a walk that he frequently makes along the beach from his hometown Lowestoft to Southwold. Born within earshot of the sound of breaking waves, and a son of fisherman, himself a son of a fisherman, from a lineage that looks out to sea, he finds himself gazing out, mesmerised by that constantly changing light and movement.
