About the Artist

Peter is a self-taught watercolor painter who focuses primarily on the landscapes of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky.  Though he began painting in 1999, four young children and a busy career as a landscape designer prevented him from painting seriously until 2009.  He is drawn to subjects that possess interesting atmospheric qualities or subjects with bold contrasting values. 

His work typically does not contain a message or a particular statement about life and politics. Rather, he is content when the viewer lingers in front of a piece, enjoying it.  Often, Peter is told by his viewers and collectors that his paintings remind them of something from their past.  

Peter enjoys teaching watercolor classes at local Art Centers, studios, workshops, and to young inspiring artists.

Demand for Peter's work is building as he continues to show his work at invitational exhibits and win awards in juried competitions.  Please contact the artist for a private viewing of his work.   Prints may be purchased through this website on the PRINTS page.
