Peter Inglis: Bio

Artist & Teacher

Peter painting in his studio.

Peter's connections to the Australian landscape extend back to his great-great-great grandmother who arrived here on the First Fleet in 1788.

His mother grew up in rural Australia and Peter himself attended James Ruse Agricultural High School where he learned how to farm and shear sheep!

Peter is well known for his interpretations of masterworks by Van Gogh, Monet and Gauguin. He enjoys painting Sydney landscapes and also takes portrait commissions.

Klimt or Monet? Peter can paint many of the major styles in the western canon. He enjoys applying the styles of the masters of western art to contemporary subjects.

Peter finds that interpreting the Australian landscape through the lens of French Impressionism gives him a direct and authentic experience.

One of his favourite artists is Claude Monet whom he refers to as "the Bach of Art" due to Monet's large artistic vocabulary and extensive body of work.

Mixing ochre from the Kimberleys into a paint involved many hours with a mortar and pestle.

I painted several versions of the Pentecost River Crossing in the Kimberleys and taught this to locals.

Performer

Peter has performed music professionally for four decades in nearly every style and genre spanning the dance hall to the recording studio and ultimately the concert stage.

He has performed concerts from the Sydney Opera House to the Australian outback.

One of his main passions is presenting 400 years of musical history in solo guitar concerts.

In 2012 the Peter Inglis String Trio with Wendy Burge on cello and Adrian Bendt on Violin performed for the N.S.W Business Chamber viewing of the Archibald Prize entries. We were most pleased to share the event with the talented artist Sarah Rowan Dahl.

Author

He currently has 28 titles in print which cover the fields of painting and music performance.

Every concept and technique in the books have been tested in live performance over a 40 year career of professional guitar playing from the dance hall to the recording studio and the concert stage. .
