BIOGRAPHY

Peter Flanagan was born in 1957 and spent his first eighteen years living with his family in various outposts of the retreating British Empire. He studied graphic design at Lincoln College of Art and then moved to Newcastle upon Tyne where he worked as a graphic designer for a number of years. He gradually developed more interest in fine art which led him to study for a BA (Hons) at the University of Northumbria, specialising in printmaking.

Since graduating with a 2.1 Honours Degree in 1984 he has made his living as an artist and part-time lecturer. He has run further and higher education courses for Newcastle College for many years and other colleges and Universities in the north east, and is now and is now a full time painter. He has work in many collections in Britain and abroad, including that of the Queen Mother, Sir John Hall, Sir Ron Deering, Weatherspoons, Sericol, Northern Rock and One Northeast.

Peter has lived for the last ten years in Allendale in the North Pennines with his wife Julie, and their five children, in a renovated seventeenth century farmhouse.

Peter is available for painting and illustration commissions.

Peter Flanagan is part of Network Artists in Northumberland
