About The Artist

Robert A. Peterson Artist’s Bio: An artist since the age of three, Robert Peterson masterfully captures the world as he sees it with pencil and brush. Using vivid colors and precise detail in his paintings, Robert invites the viewer to relax and take a vacation from chaos and enter a world where things move at a slower pace. Drawing inspiration from his experiences growing up on Southern California beaches and a two-year residency in Mexico, Peterson depicts tropical beaches, jungles and all aspects of an idyllic natural world. A freelance illustrator and former syndicated cartoonist for American International Syndicate and Capitol News Service, Robert’s artwork has appeared in newspapers and magazines worldwide. He currently teaches acrylic and water color painting and makes his home on the Central Coast of California.
