Peter studied at The Brooklyn Museum, The Art Students League of New York and with Brooklyn realists Andrew Reiss and master painter David Levine. In 1971, with his marriage to Geraldine Parkhurst, a native of Gloucester, he met watercolorist Erma Wheeler, who for more than thirty years was his teacher, mentor and close friend. His work is currently critiqued by Rocky Neck artist Gordon Goetemann. Peter has been a member of The Painting Group, a group of artists who paint together under the guidance of painters David Levine (recently deceased) and his mentor, master realist and portraitists Aaron Shikler.

Peter is a member of the Rocky Neck Art Colony and the North Shore Arts Association of East Gloucester, Massachusetts. Peter's work has been exhibited at The Crosby Gallery, New York, NY, The Century Association of New York, The Wenniger Gallery, formerly of Rockport, Massachusetts and in a solo exhibition at The Annisquam Exchange Art Gallery of Gloucester.

Peter lives with his wife Gerry and, apart from exhibitions which are announced on his website, his work may be seen at his home in Annisquam by private appointment. A more in-depth view of his work may be had by visiting his website.
