Originally from Dorset, Peter Foyle graduated from St. Martin’s in London in 1986 and was a finalist that year in the Reader’s Digest Young Illustrator’s Award.
After graduating, he worked as a freelance artist and illustrator until 1990 when he and his wife opened The Framework Gallery in Troon.
Much of Peter Foyle's work depicts rural life in harbours and villages around the country but he has recently been inspired by the buildings and street scenes of Glasgow. His ability to capture light - often on wet days - has resulted in rich, vibrant paintings which are provingvery popular with his fans.
Peter Foyle works mostly in oils and his love of tone and colour is evident in his paintings.
In 2003 one of is paintings was accepted by the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts for its 142nd exhibition.
