Peter grew up in an old farmhouse in Strafford, Pennsylvania as one of five boisterous brothers. Loving science fiction, history, and science, he graduated from Penn State University in 1977 and went to work as a petroleum geologist. Work took him and his family to many exotic places including Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Angola, Republic of Congo, and Brazil, with some time back in the US in Texas, Florida and California.
Painting became an important creative outlet while he was overseas, where his efforts focused on capturing the colors and moods of the beautiful and remote landscapes where he worked. Both the darker, richer colors of the interiors of continents as well as the clear bright colors of the tropics continue to inspire his art.
Peter has had gallery showings in Caracas, Venezuela and Cleveland, Ohio, and now paints based out of his San Diego home.
