Peregrine Smith
b. Melbourne 1951

Perregrine has been painting since age 14, and sold over 200 paintings and numerous drawings and prints.
Since Moving to Berkeley, California in 2001, he returned to one of his early loves, the depiction of the human face. His faces fall into two broad groups, the first are studied examinations of a face, often a friend or close relative, and others are free, rapid character studies of passing anonymous people, sometimes imagined, but usually, from reality.

Several of his recent commissions have been to raise money for charity. "The Rosenthals" and "Strings," (a study of Einstien with his favorite instrument)

From 1972 to 2001, Perregrine painted mainly hard-edged landscapes, from Hawker to deep space and to our inner landscape often represented by doors.

Peregrines last exhibition "Open Studios" was held at 1909 University Avenue, Berkeley California. It was well received and attended.
