Paige Matthews Peterson (born March 19, 1955 in Marin County, California) is an American painter and illustrator specializing in acrylic landscapes, portraits, and figural images. She now lives and works in New York City and East Hampton, Long Island.
Peterson’s work, characterized as “lyrical” by the Philadelphia Inquirer [1] and “spare but evocative” by the San Francisco Chronicle [2], is exhibited regularly in galleries from California, to New York, to Maine (where, in 2004, her paintings appeared in a group show that also featured works by Christo, Chuck Close, and Alex Katz). In July of 2008, she will be the subject of a one-woman show at the Spanierman Gallery at East Hampton, New York.
In 2002, Paige Peterson was featured in Studios by the Sea, a photographic account, by Bob Colacello and Jonathan Becker, of artists working and living on Long Island's East End [3], and, a year later, she was selected for lifetime membership in the Guild Hall Academy of the Arts. [4] In 2006, she co-authored and illustrated the children's book Blackie, The Horse Who Stood Still, which is currently in its fifth printing from Welcome Books in New York City. [5]
