Peter Folkes was born in 1923 at Beaminster, Dorset. His studies at the West of England College of Art, Bristol (1941–1950) were interrupted by military service during which he served as a draughtsman in the Royal Corps of Signals in North Africa and Europe. In 1952 he was elected an Associate of the Royal West of England Academy and made an Academician seven years later. In 1963 Peter Folkes was awarded a Goldsmiths Travelling Scholarship which enabled him to embark upon an influential period of travelling and painting in the USA. Six years later he was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours after which he became Vice President in 1989. From 1965 to 1989 he was Head of Fine Art at Southampton Institute. A joint winner of the Winsor & Newton painting prize in 1981 and 1983, he was later appointed a consultant for the company.
