Peter Rodgers Art

Peter, who lives and paints in Jesmond, Newcastle, trained as a commercial artist in the 1960s at Sunderland Art College and had a successful career in advertising and design for over forty years. He paints bold evocative pictures of Newcastle and Northumbria in his unique style, and over the last few years his hallmark rain swept figures with umbrellas and reflections have become very recognisable. His work also features hazy images of Venice and nostalgic beach locations, on both sunny and all too familiar rainy days, as well as iconic New York and London scenes.
