Born in San Jose in 1982, now living and working in Los Angeles. Peter originally studied fine art as secondary to a rigorous traditional and computer animation program. He has worked for 10 years in the Los Angeles film industry, wearing many artistic hats, but primarily as a “background” / “matte” painter and digital-set-designer. Peter has contributed to a number of films both winning and nominated for Academy Awards in Visual Effects. While that work has given him a strong sense of color, space, and composition… only through painting has the final ingredient been found, spirit. Peter is inspired by dreams and explorations into the unconscious. He generally approaches each new piece with a “blank mind” and “no plans” in the spirit of experimentation and discovery of the self and Universe. To him, painting is the process of carefully listening to the feminine and doing the work to bring her into physical form.
