As a former award-winning freelance illustrator in New York City and a member of the Society of Illustrators, his paintings have appeared on the covers of publications such as U.S. News and World Report. Peters’s landscape paintings have also been featured in Art of the West, Cowboys and Indians, Equine Image, Persimmon Hill, Southwest Art, Western Art Collector, Western Horseman, and Wildlife Art.

Peters began painting seriously while studying art at Northern Arizona University. Growing up in Arizona, and extensive travels throughout the state’s dramatic geography, instilled in him a deep passion for nature and the outdoors.

In the early 1990s, the Peters family left Arizona for Durango, Colorado. Peters continued his painting while he and his wife, Nanette, raised and competitively showed horses.

As Peters began to move from illustration to landscape painting, their next move took them to the central coast of California, where Peters began focusing his full time on his landscapes.

Peters has now returned home to Arizona, to the high country outside of Prescott, with his wife and children, their horses and dogs.

Robert Peters is represented by Legacy Gallery, Jackson, Wyoming, and Scottsdale, Arizona; Settlers West Galleries Inc., Tucson, Arizona; and Whistle Pik Galleries, Fredericksburg, Texas.
