"The paintings of Peter Spohn are works of thoughtful and beautiful design. They show the hand of a skilled draftsman and are finely composed, but mostly they convey a delight in light and a keen interest in place." Rick Cepella (Canadian landscape artist)
Born in Vancouver, Peter Spohn received his formal art education at the Banff Center of Fine Arts and at U.B.C. Later he received a B.F.A. with honours from Haverford College, Pa. and an in 1976 a M.F.A. from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. He spent twelve years studying and teaching art in New York and Pennsylvania where he could be close to the great art museums and fully absorb the tradition of western painting.Peter returned to Vancouver in 1985 where he was married and had children. For twelve years he taught children at the Sunrise Waldorf School in Duncan, B.C. In 2003 he retired from teaching to return to painting fulltime.
