CHRISTOPHER PEET
Born in 1957, Christopher Peet was raised and received his early education in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, Canada. After finishing high school in 1974, Peet became the first Newfoundlander to represent his province at the prestigious Lester B. Pearson International College of the Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia.
He left Pearson College two years later with an International Baccalaureate. For the next four years, Peet pursued his interest in textiles at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, Ontario, graduating in 1980 with an honours diploma in general design (textiles).
Returning to Grand Falls in 1980, Peet began to explore other areas of interest. Using his background in design, he turned, almost by accident, to painting. The natural focus for his artwork was architecture, a subject that had fascinated him from an early age. He experimented with acrylics and oil. He then turned to watercolour and has explored that medium ever since
Peet now lives in Toronto, Ontario, and his works are exhibited in galleries across Canada and in the United States. He has become an architectural preservationist, concentrating on the detail of buildings and how this detail reflects the area in which the structure is found. His painting classes and workshops are in great demand.
