Experience the art of Peter Newton
The Under Water series is the latest work by artist Peter Newton.
Painting for the past 20 years, Peter’s art draws on his experience and memory of snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef.
Since his childhood Peter has been artistically influenced by the sea, as well as his love of surfing and the seasons.
Peter’s now a veteran of several solo and joint exhibitions locally, in Melbourne and interstate. He’s currently working on another exhibition for early in the new year.
