Peter Shanahan 47 artworks | 9 Sold Follow Contact Peter Studied architecture in 1960 and started painting the same year. I became more involved in art and began to work primarily on landscapes while living in Tasmania from the early 70's. I also studied sculpture and metal casting in Launceston and assisted Stephen Walker in his foundry for a short time. I have exhibited both paintings and sculpture in Australia and overseas and represented in various private collections. I paint what I feel, not necessarily what I see. I'm not overly fond of pretty pictures. I want the viewer to be drawn into my pictures - love them or not !
