the Artist

Pete is a self-studied, Wisconsin-based independent artist whose acrylic paintings explore imagination as a lived experience. His work often places viewers inside an unfolding moment—mid-story—where meaning is suggested rather than fixed. Viewers frequently describe his paintings “like being dropped into the middle of a book,” with just enough information to spark curiosity while leaving space for personal interpretation.

Pete’s paintings draw from legends and lore, strange encounters, and unexplained moments rendered with believable realism. His compositions balance vivid color, dramatic light, and grounded environments with a dreamlike sensibility. Narrative gaps are intentional; he prefers stories that remain open-ended—images meant to be revisited and reshaped over time.
