Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1953, Peter has always sought the skills to express himself creatively. As a child he loved art but never cared for art class, preferring instead to "figure it out" for himself, a tenacity that continues to this day. After completing formal training in architecture, Peter began a 20-year design practice in Washington, D.C. During this time he continued to explore the possibilities of a wide range of media and was represented by several galleries in the mid-atlantic region. In 1994 he decided to combine his business experience and creativity to open his first gallery in Washington, VA. Peter closed his successful Virginia gallery in 2006 and opened a new venue in Naples, Florida in 2008.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Color, composition, light and texture are all essential elements in the creation of my work. The manipulation of these characteristics is a source of continual fascination and makes each piece a serendipitous journey to a suggested destination. Often reminescent of landscapes, the works have varying degrees of visual movement which draw the viewer in for a closer inspection. Led by his own curiousity and imagination, this exploration takes the viewer to a time, a place, or a memory that is uniquely thier own.
