Jamie Peters worked as a musician, appearing in the West End production of ‘Hair’ and with the bands of Georgie Fame and Dusty Springfield before attending Hornsey Art School where he gained a B.A (Hons) in Fine Art in 1978.

Apart from teaching art, Jamie has held one-man shows in London, Bristol and France. He has painted in California, Australia and New Zealand, and undertaken many portrait and mural commissions. A lover of landscape painting, he moved to Gascony attracted by the beauty of the countryside and wide open spaces.               

Jamie paints daily and continues to exhibit regularly; working mainly in watercolour and oils he aims to develop a rapid, loose yet accurate response to observed nature.
