Resume of Artist David
Peterson, of
Sacramento, California.
David Peterson, Sacramento artist, is in a hurry.
Recently renewing himself with the passion to paint that he had as a
19-year-old, and in spite of a job, and volunteering for Sacramento
Valley School and various art organizations, he finds time to paint
hundreds of paintings a year, outdoors.
Inspired by Henry Fukuhara, mentored by Woody Hansen, encouraged by
family and friends, David's painting is maturing and he is making his
artistic statement.
The artist has paintings in private collections locally, in Southern
California and the east coast. Since 2003, the artist has been accepted
into dozens of state-wide juried shows and has won over three dozen
awards. He is a past President of WASH, Inc., Sacramento’s only
watercolor club.
David’s work can be seen at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center, The
Blue Moon Gallery and Papayas Cafe.
David portrays the familiar scenes of our neighborhood in a humorous
and enigmatic way. He shows you California landmarks differently, simply
and in a unique manner.
