Peter was privately trained as a sculptor and was awarded Master of Philosophy (Fine Art) by the University of Newcastle.
After studying Ceramics (1973-75) and receiving a Certificate of Art (1978-79) from Newcastle School of Art & Design, Tilley completed a Master of Philosophy (Fine Art) at Newcastle University (2008-10) and spent four years working on his PhD at the same institution (2015-18). In 2018 the resulting body of work from his PhD was shown at The University Gallery in Newcastle. At the beginning of 2016, Peter Tilley had solo and collaborative work on view at Newcastle Art Gallery in A Dirty Business with Andy Devine and Andrew Styan. 2014 saw the start of Peter Tilley and Andy Devine’s joint exhibition Black Harvest, which travelled to Moree Plains Gallery, Cessnock Regional Art Gallery, Glasshouse Regional Gallery, Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre and Manly Art Gallery and Museum, until 2016. This collaboration has also seen their work win the 2016 Acquisitive Newcastle Club Foundation Painting Prize
