Peter Cameron

Peter Cameron (b. 1947) took up art while serving a prison sentence, and later described his incarceration as a career move. On his release in 1992, he received the support of the Koestler Trust and was able to evolve from post-prison survivor to celebrated artist with a substantial body of work. In 2003, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which took his art in a new direction, emphasising the movement that increasingly eluded him. Peter’s is an inspiring story of survival and real-life grit, richly illustrated and narrated, and embellished with Peter’s own lively anecdotes.
