Peter Nixon was born in Lytham St. Annes in the county of Lancashire, England in 1956. As a child, Peter was always artistic. He began drawing when he was 5 years old and went to a museum for the first time when he was 9 (The Royal Academy of Art in London) where he experienced Leonardo’s “Virgin and St. Anne” and “Virgin and Child.” These drawings had a profound effect on Peter’s artistic development.
