Peter is an avid landscape painter inspired by sublime northern Ontario landscapes.  His paintings capture the essence of the smells, sounds, and sights that surround him with his subtle, yet painterly brush strokes. Growing up, Peter would spend his weekends and summers up north. Over time, this experience became part of his being, which for him, is so easily translated onto canvas.

After graduating from the Ontario College of Art in 1995 his subject matter continued to capture what he knows best.

"In my studio in Toronto, I reference photos I've taken usually only days prior so the image and feeling is still fresh in my mind. Each piece starts as a small oil sketch, where I focus on color and composition, this then may or may not lead to a larger canvas. I try to paint every day. This is important for my work as well as my well being."
