Peter Fischer

Peter's paintings focus primarily on the fine nuances of the natural world. With a background in graphic design, his carefully honed eye for detail captures the randomly occurring repetition of shapes and patterns, resulting in paintings which often invoke a sense of calm in the viewer. Peter enjoys gathering inspiration from areas in and around the beautiful escarpment passing through Dundas (ON), along with his travels to Quebec, the Maritimes, and especially Prince Edward island.

Having started painting impressionistically with oils at age twelve, he has been involved in a lifelong exploration of the creative process. Inspired by the likes of Ken Danby and Alex Colville, his style inexorably evolved over time towards realism. In 2013, Peter made the leap of faith to a full-time painting career and hasn’t looked back.

He exhibits in galleries in Charlottetown (PE), Waterloo (ON), and the Art Galleries of Hamilton and Burlington (ON). His work is held in private and corporate collections in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia.
