Peter Taylor Ward studied technical drawing and draughtsmanship before going on to study illustration at Falmouth School of Art and Design in Cornwall.

His work has been used in books, on greetings cards and in various publications for construction and property management companies.

However, preferring the freedom that painting on a larger scale offers, he has been increasingly working on large canvases in a looser style that incorporates architecture, architectural detail and patterns in nature inspired by his love of renaissance and Pre-Raphaelite Art.

Many of his paintings feature Romanesque, renaissance and baroque architecture, often creating composites from examples of these styles, whilst his floral paintings show the influence of such artists as William Morris.

His work ranges from highly detailed pen and ink drawings and watercolours to very loose oil paintings on canvas.

He has exhibited in Cornwall, Cheshire and London.
