Peter William
Archard.
Born
Bradford-on-Avon. May 1955. Lived in Corsham Wiltshire until
the age of 10 then moved to Swindon, Wiltshire due to my
father's work.
My
interest in art started whilst in Primary school, as the
result of a particular lesson where the class would listen
to a radio broadcast, after which we had to draw a picture
of what we saw and what we were inspired by. One particular
story, when I was around eight years of age, was of an evil
giant entering a village and causing damage and mayhem. I
saw in my mind the giant on a hill overlooking the village (
I was looking over his shoulder looking down at the village
). I drew this in quick strokes in charcoal... As a result
of my efforts I received top of the class marks for
imaginational drawing.
Art was
shelved for many years not considering myself of worth…Then
in the late 80's early 90’s I put my hand to geometric
works and created several pencil drawings (not displayed on
site, but will be when I can get them out of my friends
attic. ) Then back in 97 I aquired a computer and with
inspiration over some years I created the art that you see
on my website… Apologies for not having any formal
qualifications just inspiration and drive to work to the
best of my ability…If life ends then I can say I was given
these works and I am thankful…
One of my fond
pastimes is to visit the online art galleries where I am
ever enthralled with the diversity of ideas that generated
with such amazing computer skills to produce truly fantastic
art .
A quote from the
Psalms…
“Bless the Lord o my
soul for the goodness and mercy he shows to all his peoples,
Bless the Lord o my soul for the goodness and mercy he shows
to all his creation.”
Hey ! just because I
quoted the Psalms don’t mean I’m a religious man.... but I
am a believer… My hope for the future Is to continue to be
inspired and produce many more pieces of art.
