Hello, I'm Peter Gray.

I am a self-taught artist based in Co. Fermanagh​,​ Ireland. My preferred medium is acrylic​,​ and my journey into art began when I was seventeen years old. I vividly recall my first painting experience​,​ which occurred when my art teacher took a chance on me and allowed me to join the final years' art class despite having no prior experience in any art class. Although I quickly discovered that I was only average at most art forms​,​ I hadn't yet found my passion. That all changed when my teacher presented me with a set of acrylic paints and asked me to create a painting within a week. I eagerly accepted the challenge​,​ and the following week​,​ I proudly presented my first-ever painting​,​ which depicted the legendary jazz singer Ray Charles seated at a polished black piano in a dimly lit​,​ smoky room. To my surprise​,​ my teacher loved the piece​,​ which gave me the confidence to keep painting. Although I initially painted in my spare time and sold pieces here and there over the next decade​,​ I focused most of my energy on activities I believed were essential for a successful and stable life. However​,​ I eventually realized that this was merely an illusion. Therefore​,​ I made the decision to step back from that way of life and pursue my passion for painting full-time​,​ immersing myself entirely in the world of creative thinking.
