About the artist

As an artist, Pete always relished the challenge of turning a blank canvas into something with life, curiosity and contemplation. His art is where spontaneity and careful planning coexist, his end goal is to invite joy and engage curiosity. Each painting is a story, made up from a collection of experiences and visual memories, offering layers of texture, colour, pattern and form for the viewer to explore. Pete Groves is a visual artist living in Melbourne. Growing up in a semi-rural environment he spent much of his time kicking around outside in paddocks , mingling with a menagerie of animals, climbing trees playing in creeks and dams and creating adventures. All a constant source for the imagination. After his formative years, Pete embarked on a journey of travel and experiences, including spending several years in Mexico. It was in Mexico that he developed a deep appreciation for storytelling and symbolism in the work of Mexican artists, which became a significant influence on his own artistic approach. Pete Groves completed a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design at Swinburne Institute of Technology. Pete’s work is represented in private collections in Australia, the USA, Japan and London, including the BHP Billiton London collection. Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, Subiaco, Western Australia. Southern Health Art gallery, Monash Medical Centre, Victoria. As well as exhibiting in numerous successful solo and selected group exhibitions for the past 30 years.
