Peter Daniels (1935–1998) was a British artist whose work became closely associated with the landscapes of Pembrokeshire, where he lived and worked from the early 1980s. Trained in Manchester, and with a background in design and print, his practice developed into a distinctive exploration of light, colour and atmosphere.

Working across watercolour, acrylic, pastel and mixed media, Daniels created paintings that move between representation and abstraction. Pathways, trees and open spaces appear throughout his work, not as fixed views, but as shifting impressions shaped by memory, place and experience.

His paintings are less concerned with precise depiction and more with evoking a sense of presence — something glimpsed rather than fully defined. As he once described it, painting was “a constant journey… like chasing the Holy Grail.”

Daniels exhibited widely during his lifetime, with work held in private collections in the UK and internationally. In recent years, his work has been revisited and is now being reintroduced to a wider audience.
