Despite peripatetic beginnings, Peter Maloney (b. 1953) spent most of his life in Canberra, first at high school, later returning as an art student and then growing deeper roots as a mature artist. Travel, however, played a big part in directing his work, as well as his engagement with the creative gay worlds of Sydney and Melbourne.
A protracted and unrelated illness, to his identity as a proud gay man, eventually caught up with Maloney.
