  Feature Artist Bio

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American  painter Peter Huntoon (born 1962 in Vermont, USA).
 

Peter Huntoon has been painting professionally since 1994. A lifelong passion for art and his native state of Vermont are evident in his work. His distinctive award-winning paintings in oil and watermedia feature strong composition, innovative color, and enthusiastic brushwork.

Educated in Vermont and Colorado, Huntoon received his BA in Art from Castleton University. Peter was Color Group Manager at Sto Corp. (a world leader in architectural coatings) for 20 years, becoming a full-time artist in 2012. He has studied and painted with many contemporary masters including Stephen Quiller, Frank Webb, Zoltan Szabo, Cheng Khee Chee, Mark Boedges, Charlie Hunter, and Robert Sydorowich. Peter is a founding signature member of the Vermont Watercolor Society.

In March 2013 Peter launched “A Day in Vermont”, a weekly email love letter featuring a brand new painting. A Day in Vermont “celebrates the beauty of Vermont, one painting at a time.” Over 10,000 subscribers from across the country and around the world now share this authentic artistic adventure. As a way to say thanks, Peter draws two random subscriber names each month to win a free print of their choice. It’s free to subscribe at www.ADayinVermont.com 

Peter has been featured in Vermont Magazine and WCAX TV’s “Made in Vermont” series. Peter’s “A Day in Vermont” plein-air painting video series now airs regularly on Vermont PBS.

Along with his artist wife Mareva Millarc, Peter lives and works from his studio in Middletown Springs, Vermont. His work is represented in public and private collections around the world.

                        ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Home is where the heart is. Community spirit and authenticity motivate my work. I am ceaselessly inspired by Vermont’s integrity, diversity, and capricious nature. Capturing her subtle and sensational beauty in rich juicy paint is like roping the wind, brilliantly impossible. Her mysterious moods and change of seasons lead me on!
 

Each subject suggests method and media. Armed with insight and appreciation gained from considerable observational study, enthusiastic abandon ensues. I encourage all manner of organic serendipity and follow the painting’s lead. Epic opposing forces crash and dance. Dark and light, warm and cool, hard and soft, straight and curved, action and rest, chaos and organization… each resolved in turn. Moving towards order the dynamic energies of color, shape, space, and light are engaged. Like love and life, I experience the creative process as an unfolding event with a deliciously unpredictable outcome.
 

Art is my spiritual practice and humble expression of gratitude. My best work is done at the confluence of present moment attention, artistic aptitude, and love. To share that experience with you through art is my life’s work and greatest reward.
