Pete Hoida lived in Brownshill, just outside Stroud, from 1974 until his death in 2023. His studio sits behind the house, overlooking the Toadsmoor Valley and across to Minchinhampton Common. The Gloucestershire countryside had a significant influence on his paintings, not withstanding their abstract nature. Having been brought up on the Wirral, between the Dee and Mersey rivers, Pete was particularly drawn to the Severn estuary with its vast skies and wide calm at full tide.

The paintings in this exhibition have been chosen by his widow Caroline, and showcase works spanning 1993 to 2022, several of which are being exhibited for the first time. Accompanied by evening openings and workshops.
