Peter is a graduate of York University, BFA, Visual Arts, Honours Program. Growing up in North Bay, Peter pursued his art in private art classes at an early age. In high school, he met and was mentored by a very infl uencial teacher and artist. Inspired, Peter discovered the power behind colour and how colour can move. At University, he explored many painting styles and techniques. While he continued to paint, he spent more than 20 years in the advertising business as a graphic designer and art director. His experience with advertising and concept development has been an invaluable tool to his artistic growth. This is reflected in both the conceptual content of his art and his compositions. This in turn has helped him perceive and translate the visual world around him. Peter lives in Brampton.
