Peter is a former university art professor who taught at the University of Arizona, Arizona, Wright State University, Ohio, California State Long Beach, California and Eastern Oregon State University, Oregon before retiring to the Oregon coast.
Peter’s current work focuses on hand built ceramics that reflect the Southwest culture where he grew up. Peter also incorporates his Irish heritage into pieces. He likes to leave the marks of his hands and construction on the work so that it is obvious to the observer that it was hand built. Color and texture and decorative touches are important to the pieces.
