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 pattern, 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 along with his travels to Quebec and the maritimes. Having started painting in oils at 12 he has been involved in a lifelong exploration of the creative process. Eight years ago Peter made the leap of faith to a full time painting career and hasn’t looked back. In 2012 his Painting "Leander sky" was chosen by Sotheby's for the live auction at the Art Gallery of Hamilton's "Super Auction". In Feb. of 2014, Peter submitted work for the first time and had his piece sell among the top six at the Art Gallery of Burlington’s 35th annual auction and the top two (contemporary paintings) at the Dundas valley school of arts 44th annual auction. He exhibits in galleries in Charlottetown, Waterloo, Ottawa, Toronto, Stratford, Hamilton and the Art galleries of Hamilton and Burlington. His work is held in private and corporate collections in Canada the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia.
