Peter Heard National Trusting

Peter Heard began painting in the early 1970’s and gained international recognition from 5 hugely successful solo shows at London’s Portal Gallery – one of the world’s premier galleries of the ‘naive’ genre. A self-taught artist and a chartered Civil Engineer and bridge designer by profession, his early works were highly detailed, sophisticated and intricate compositions usually depicting quintessential English villages or portraits of the eccentric English at their sports and pastimes, observed with humour and graphic wit.
