Pete Gilbert

Pete Gilbert lives in the New Forest and paints mainly contemporary landscapes of the New Forest and Dorset Coastline. He tends to work out on site to capture the immediacy fo the moment with pastels and watercolurs. He then either finish these sketches back in the studio or uses them as a reference for larger canvases.

Before Pete became a professional artist he spent a colourful life which encompassed (in no particular order) graphic and creative design for his own agency and for others, motorcycling around Europe and North Africa, owning a restaurant and a night club and hitch-hiking across America. Art is now his passion and over the years his work has won awards and attracted an ever growing following both in the private and business spheres.
