About Me: Peter M Spencer
Peter M Spencer BA:
My Mission:Each stroke in my artwork channels the essence of Devon’s landscapes and spiritual energy, crafting a connection between the physical and etheric. My mission is to inspire joy and serenity by weaving nature’s beauty with the spiritual, inviting you to experience an emotional and soulful journey beyond the canvas.
Peter Spencer's Journey: Peter Spencer, born in Mansfield, England, and raised in the picturesque landscapes of Exeter, Devon, discovered his artistic calling amidst the lush hills of Dartmoor, Exmoor, and the scenic South Devon coast. At the tender age of six, Peter experienced the joy of creation when he drew an outline of the United Kingdom, igniting a lifelong passion for art. During his teenage years, a serendipitous encounter with bird painting at fifteen rekindled his artistic spirit. Despite this passion, Peter pursued a career in Engineering Design, adhering to the guidance of his elders. Throughout his life, Peter has been a dedicated student of art, learning from skilled artists, attending evening and life drawing classes, and continuously honing his craft through books, videos, and recent training from the Milan Art Institute. His self-taught journey is a testament to his unwavering commitment to art.
Artistic Vision: Now retired from his career in Design Engineering, Peter dedicates himself full-time to his art, working from his home studio in the stunning county of Devon, England. Surrounded by inspiring vistas of coastal resorts, woodlands, and moorlands, Peter's work in oil colours explores the natural beauty that envelops him and the inner spark of the soul. His art celebrates color and captures the essence of nature and creation, inviting viewers to explore its beauty and share in its joy. Peter believes in sharing his passion for art and encouraging others to discover their creativity. Through his creations, he aims to inspire a sense of infinite, eternal existence and foster lives filled with peace, love, and light. As Peter often reflects, "When I’m not painting, I’m thinking; when I’m painting, I am not thinking," encapsulating his deep immersion in the artistic process. He finds pure enjoyment in being in nature, where painting outdoors allows him to connect deeply with the landscapes that inspire his work.
Future Aspirations: Peter's studio, overlooking Brunnel Woods and the azure waters of Torbay, is his sanctuary where creativity thrives. By sharing his art and encouraging others to tap into their creative selves, Peter aims to inspire more meaningful and fulfilled lives. Through his art, he continues to explore his inner world and share his beliefs in infinite, eternal existence. His dream is to spread the idea of living in peace and harmony with all beings on earth, the planet itself, the universe, and all spiritual realms. To know infinite love is to be complete and whole, and through his artistic endeavors, Peter Spencer seeks to bring this vision to life, touching hearts and minds worldwide.
