Peter Heaton studied Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University and later gained an M.A. in Fine Art from Leeds Metropolitan University. He now works primarily with photography and digital imaging.
Over the last few years Peter’s work has revolved around the complexities of layering visual information and our interpretations of the resulting images. He has continued to exhibit widely since 1987, his work being featured in many publications and on both BBC and ITV Television. He has work in private collections in Europe and America. In 2010 he set up Vale of York Darkrooms where he teaches courses in both traditional chemical based Black and White Photography and Digital Imaging.
In 1976, Tony Baker took it upon himself to call himself an artist so that he could call what he produces art. Working on the premise that anybody can produce stuff, but it's only artists that do, and seeing no delineation between the various art forms at his disposal, he's been happily crossing disciplines like there's no tomorrow, combining traditional techniques and sensibilities with the potential that digital technologies has to offer.
Galvanised by the experience of his art education in Leeds, which at the time was described by Patrick Heron as being the most cutting edge Art School in Europe, he has worked in everything from print to rock 'n' roll (something that has always laid at the heart of whatever he produces).
