About

Peter Keegan is a professional artist living and working in Buckinghamshire, UK, specialising in portraiture. Trained at Cardiff School of Art and working in oils, Peter is known for his loose and expressive approach to oil and figurative painting. His particular aim in portraiture is to always create a work of art that reflects the subject's likeness and personality, as well as capturing those special elements which make the subject truly "them". Peter also paints and exhibits figure paintings, local landscape and still life paintings.

Peter has exhibited his work with the ROI, RBA, RBSA & NEAC.

Peter is also known for his engaging and highly sort after painting courses, workshops and classes which he teaches across the UK and Europe.

Peter co-founded the podcast Ask an Artist: the podcast dedicated to offering free advice and guidance about the business side of being an artist.

Peter is an elected member of the Buckinghamshire Art Society and the Oxford Art Society.  

Peter is also a brand ambassador for Michael Harding Oil Paints and Rosemary & Co brushes, sets of which he sells here online.

Peter is currently writing his first book ‘The Beginners Guide to Oil Painting’ published by SearchPress in the Autumn of 2027.

From the beginning of 2020, Peter was made the first ever Artist in Residence at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre. To celebrate their 10th Anniversary, Peter was commissioned to paint a number of large scale canvases depicting life inside the theatre. The paintings are on permanent display along the promenade inside the theatre. The exhibition is free to visit when the theatre is open to the public.

Some of Peter's work can be found in public collections as part of the Public Catalogue Foundation. Please click here to visit the Public Catalogue Foundation website.
