Peter Hulsey born in 1969 in the south Florida
area and is primarily self taught. He entered the
Armed Services directly following high school
and was stationed in Spain for a period, where
he discovered a fascination with art and was
enthralled by the richness of the Spanish
countryside, villages ad coasts. He also traveled
widely in Italy, Germany and France where he
undertook the study of art,
When he retired from the Service, he returned
to the United States and currently resides in
Northern Italy. He determined that his talent lay
in the use of his creative abilities and began
experimenting with the use of color and texture
to create depth in his work.
“I try to capture the harmony between shade
and light. It’s always been a challenge for me to
determine the color of things. I try to concentrate
on other objects around things and analyze the
reflected light. I experiment a lot.”
He uses sweeping brushstrokes to create a sense
of involvement in his paintings. He then applies
and reapplies paint with his palette knives in
order to create just the right effects.
