“You never meet a strong person with an easy background.”
Kendall Whyte, Blue Tree Project
In 2013 Peter’s three-year-old daughter Skye was diagnosed with leukaemia, and he decided to quit his animation job to look after her and focus on his art. It was an experience which taught him to be strong and showed him the value that help from others can give, and the desire to pay it forward.
Peter helped bring the characters April & Flash and their world to life, in a new book which teaches children the importance of dealing with anxiety.
Peter takes the Aboriginal story of oppression and creates something beautiful and engaging to connect and share a message to help heal.
Peter was honoured to create the original artwork which told the story behind the first Blue Tree. The project became a whole exhibition, and raised money to support the charity which in its short time has become an icon for mental health awareness.
In 2021 Peter was selected to paint Water Corporations assets, and included the Yanchep Beach Primary School in the design process. Watch the video to see just how the murals developed straight from the imaginations of the children and their ideas of being water wise.
