Contemporary Landscapes in Oil
Artist Statement
“Throughout my life I have had the benefit of living in different rural environments within New England. From the coastal landscapes of Massachusetts to the woods, mountains and farmlands of New Hampshire and Vermont I have experienced the differences in nature, geography and light in these varied environments.”
Biography
Born in Beverly, MA on Boston’s North Shore, Peter has spent time living throughout New England in both coastal and western Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard, Vermont and, currently, New Hampshire.
Peter trained in studio art at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (BFA 1986). Having established himself as a successful Creative Director and designer, Peter opened a small gallery in Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard, and later co-founded a web design company in New Hampshire while maintaining his studio work.
His work is represented by prestigious galleries in Boston, Vermont, Cape Cod, New Hampshire, Bluffton SC, Houston, Milwaukee, and Martha’s Vineyard.
On the Work
Childhood interests in architecture and archaeology have led me to consider the context of time-worn structures within the New England landscapes. I am fascinated on many levels when coming across a barn or seaside cottage.
I am interested in the nature of the architecture — how it sits within its landscape, color and light. I find myself curious about the story of the building: who built it and why; the many people who have lived or worked in it; how the landscape may have changed over the years.
The curiosity I have about the building intertwines with the creative process in my interpretation of the architecture and landscape in one image. The structure serves as the vehicle to explain the place.
