Peter Usher Australian, b. 1973

Overview
Peter Usher is a contemporary landscape painter based in Western Australia. His home studio is nestled in pristine native forest and close to the wild and unique coastline of the Great Southern region.
 
Inspired by that landscape, his paintings sensitively combine natural elements of colour, light and texture with an 'essence of place'. Each work is a fusion of landscape and experience that resonates within the viewers imagination and invite an intimate and considered response. 
 

Since graduating from Curtin University, Perth, with a fine arts degree in 1995, Peter has won many art prizes and his work is now found in numerous private collections around the world. 

 
Usher breathes life into his art through his creative use of paint and mediums. His artworks sensitively combine natural elements of colour, mediums, shape and texture without losing the essence of nature, displaying the diverse variations of different compositions that are found within the landscape. The end result is a fusion of his perspective on nature that resonates within the viewers’ imagination, naturally inviting a positive response. 
 

With paintings that are visually beautiful and conceptually strong, Usher's artworks are a dialogue addressing his ongoing and deepening relationship to the natural environment within which he lives and works.
