Peter Curling
Born in Waterford in 1955, Curling spent his early years in Co. Clare before moving to England. His interest in art was stimulated by his parents' own interest - his father having worked in the Abbey Theatre and his mother having been involved with selling sporting paintings and prints. www.whytes.ie In England Curling won an art scholarship to Millfield, after which he went to Italy to study. After a couple of years study abroad he returned briefly to England where he worked under John Skeaping RA. Curling returned to Ireland in 1975 and has lived ever since in Co. Tipperary where he and his wife Louise (who is also an artist) run a horse stud farm. www.whytes.ie
