After leaving school in the 1960s Gilbert always painted but he did not take the traditional route through art college. He had many career changes, from advertising and restaurants to night-club owner, but he always found the time to keep painting, exploring and developing his own style. For the past few years he has made a living as an artist, painting mainly contemporary landscapes of the New Forest or the Dorset coast. He says: "Now living in the New Forest my passion for painting the landscape has rekindled, rejuvenated and increased year on year. I tend to work out on site to capture the immediacy of the moment with pastels and watercolour and then, using those sketches, either finish them back in the studio or use them as reference for larger canvases in oil or acrylic.
Pete is also a volunteer for ArtCare, the art service, at Salisbury District Hospital and has helped deliver workshops and participatory projects and co-painted the mural in the Burns Unit children’s playroom.
