Peter Scammell started painting as a child, within a family steeped in painterly tradition. He describes his art as “post impressionist abstract expressionist Australian landscape painting”.

He studied art at Alexander Mackie in Sydney from 1976 to 1979, and is currently employed as a fine arts lecturer.

He has exhibited since 1995 around the north coast of New South Wales and in Brisbane.
