About

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, take a vacation on canvas 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 from around the world as well as other aspects of nature’s idyllic beauty.

Robert is also a freelance illustrator and former syndicated cartoonist for American International Syndicate and Capitol News Service. His illustrations and cartoons have appeared in newspapers and magazines worldwide. Robert’s paintings are now found in numerous Galleries and in private collections worldwide. He teaches acrylic and watercolor painting at the High School and College levels as well as cartoon drawing. Robert and his wife Jana make their home on the Central Coast of California where inspiration constantly surrounds them.
