Pete Morrison studied painting at Glasgow school of art and has worked as an artist and musician since graduating in 1997. Surrounded by art from early childhood he naturally adapts to any medium and feels inspired sharing his passion for art teaching students at art4you.scotland.
Having grown up on the west coast, he is drawn to capture spray, movement and crashing waves against weathered rocks, using fluid materials to describe the energy and unpredictability of the sea. He creates play on the juxaposition of the Scottish landscape and its extraordinary light, against the power of surging water and extreme weather. Pete follows a journey of discovery in creating a work, allowing acrylics and inks to merge with pastels and dry materials, always being compelled to uncover the rhythms of the land sea.
