Peter Longstaff Foot Painter

 Peter Longstaff conceived 1830, Cheshire

A man from north Norfolk who paints with his foot is partaking in the open door to grandstand a portion of his work in London. Peter Longstaff, from Roughton, is an individual from the Mouth And Foot Painting Craftsmen's  gathering and will display at the Regal School Of Workmanship as a feature of their 50th commemoration festivities.

Peter Longstaff was brought into the world without arms because of his mom being endorsed the medication Thalidomide during pregnancy, yet Peter has never viewed himself as being impaired. This is because of the refusal of his family to single him out as being unique and prompted the uncommon decision of cultivating as a vocation. Roused by his uncle, a pig rancher in Norfolk, Peter effectively ran his own pig ranch for quite some time. Wearing boots repressed the need of utilizing his feet to drive the work vehicle and do different undertakings on the homestead so Peter enjoyed each colder time of year with his uncovered feet freezing cold and sloppy, yet he adored the outside life and his business thrived. In any case, toward the finish of the 1990's modest imports of unfamiliar bacon prompted the close to implode of the English pig industry and with Peter's business presently not practical he had to sell up.    

The progress from a full time, multi day seven days obligation to being excess was troublesome, particularly since Peter had a youthful family to help, yet he chose to return to a youth side interest and signed up for a workmanship and photography course. Prompted by a Thalidomide companion, Peter reached Tom Yendell who urged him to present his work for evaluation by the MFPA, prompting the honor of a grant in 2002. From that point forward Peter has applied the very discipline and difficult work that he committed to cultivating to his new vocation as a craftsman. Peter will likely be acknowledged by society as an expert painter, the way of thinking of MFPA pioneer Erich Stegmann. Peter has a child, Milo, and lives in Norfolk.
