Peter is a graduate of the National Art School who has exhibited his work in galleries across the world. In 2018 Peter was selected as a finalist for the prestigious Archibald Prize for his self portrait, titled Self Portrait with Hindsight. Peter said at the time, "When I received the email telling me I had been selected I confess I was stunned. Thrilled. It took a moment to sink in. And then I wondered if the Nigerians had gotten into scamming painters as a new business model. It is one of the greatest things to have happened to me."

Peter released his first book in 2015 titled The Book of He, which was a collection of original, humorous illustrations about modern life from the perspective of a very ordinary man. This was soon followed by the release of a sequel, The Book of They, a satirical look at relationships and coupledom, complete with Berner’s brand of observational comedy.
