Peter Campbell "finds inspiration in the mountains, desert and ever-changing light. I work mainly on location to get a direct connection with the landscape. I believe this gets the 'outside' into a painting, giving it elements that make it alive."

Peter Campbell started his artistic career as a photographer in Georgia. While he honed his photography skills, painting became his passion, and he started painting full-time after moving to Colorado several years ago. He says his photographic background comes in handy when he's working on his landscapes, which are often abstracted views of nature. "Photographers are able to look at the world and imagine a frame around it, seeing the shapes interact with each other," he says.
