Peter, the artist, is as natural a happening as the sun rising in the sky. He grew up in the northern woods of Ontario, Canada along the rugged and picturesque shores of Lake Superior. His environment instilled in him a great love of the outdoors and all of nature’s wonders.
After years of experimentation and development with different mediums and long extended trials using the airbrush gun, Peter overtime had developed and mastered a technique that would lead him to his next great success in the world of art.
The viewer immediately knew these women were thinking far beyond just having their picture taken yet he was incredibly careful not to lose his subject’s natural feminine beauty. Hair, clothing and jewelry were all given the utmost of importance when it came to detail and they were indeed more perfect, more glamorous, than any woman could imagine. After several years of sold-out exhibitions in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Hawaii and Toronto, Peter, unable to meet the demand for originals decided to produce a series of limited edition prints. Again, like Peter’s women, these prints were to be like no others! Peter sought out the best serographer in the world, Michael Caza of the Atelier D’Art in Paris, France. Caza had proven over and over again throughout his career to truly be ‘the best’. His portfolio of work included serigraphs printed for artists such as Picasso, Miro, Chagall and Dali. Peter flew directly to Paris
in order to collaborate with Caza and began work on 4 individual
images for the silk-screen press. Caza and Peter produced serigraphs
that were put through the press 26 times with 26 different colours.
Peter struggled to produce his images like his paintings therefore he
spent countless hours experimenting with the serigraphy process in
order to get the perfect print. The two determined artists hard work
had paid off. In 1986, the
Screen Printers Association International
awarded the first serigraph
"Les Bijoux"
with the
‘Golden
Squeegee Award’ for the ‘Worlds Best Serigraph’.
