Bio
Peter Pettegrew grew up around Monterey Bay, California. He started
drawing at age four and by the age of 10, was studying with the old
marine painters in the Bay area. His formal art education began when
he applied and gained admission to the Harbor Senior High School,
which was a progressive school dedicated to advancing the
development of artistic skills and creative freedom. After moving to
Florida, Peter attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale to study
graphic arts and painting. He continued his studies by taking private
workshops in several mediums, including oil painting. Finding his
inspiration through detailed research of the Master Impressionists and
plein air painters of the 19th century, this work revealed the undeniable
course of his life; “to honor the face of nature by painting her portrait in
so many ways and in so many places. Through painting, I share my love
of nature with others and hopefully help to preserve her beauty.”
