I'm Peter!
I make a variety of art. Through my work, I want to explore, take risks, and most of all, remind those who view my art that they can simply exist in this world. Humanity is not a plague nor a burden, and neither are you.
I make artwork for sale! Commissions are where you request specific and custom art that I then make. This process is different from buying artwork I have already created for sale!

Flat Stitch Beaded Pieces
A brooch? A keychain? A pair of earrings? Each piece is one of a kind, created 1 to 2 beads at a time.

example: $120
example: $50
example: $120

Fringe Earrings
I've been beading for about a year and a half now, and there is still much more to explore! From simple stripes to bigger designs, I'm interested in making it all!
Prices start at $35 for a single pair of earrings-- and price raises with size (width, length) and complexity (number of colors used, pattern) of the pair.
There is no extra charge for swapping out earring clasps with clip ons!

example: $35

Clay Pins
I adore making miniature artwork, and clay pins are where I get to challenge myself and see how detailed I can get in less than a 1in x 1in space.
Pricing starts at $18 for a 1 inch by 1 inch custom clay pin-- and price raises with complexity of design.
Acrylic on Canvas
I can paint just about any subject matter on little canvases!
Pricing starts at $35 for a 4 inch by 4 inch canvas-- and price raises with complexity of design.
( Same starting price for 4 inch by 5 inch flat canvas board )
For larger pieces, contact me for an estimate.
Acrylic on Wood
I love using acrylic on wood! It's one of my favorite combos aside from acrylic on fabric. I separate this category from my canvas commissions because I can also wood burn on these pieces!
Prices start at $40 for a 3 inch by 5 inch wooden plaque-- and price raises with complexity of design.
Always a work in progress! Check back and see the new artwork I add constantly :)
Directory
I'm separating my artwork based on whether it was made for my degree or not since it's nice to watch my progress as I work through my degree!
Class Projects
I'm a university student over halfway through my Bachelor of Arts degree. I'm trying to keep track of as many of my pieces as I can, because I take a lot of care, time, and pride in the work I create!
3D Design
This was the first college art class I took. It was all about 3D design and sculptural artwork. I had a lot of fun in this class, and I discovered my love for making 3D objects and artwork that can be interacted with! I worked with wire, rope, denim, felt, natural dyes, masking tape, and so, so much hot glue.
2D Design
My second art class in college, with so many mini-projects! Truly the principles of art and design.
Beginning Wheel Ceramics
I took wheel-thrown ceramics and beginning drawing simultaneously in the first half of my second year of college. Wheel-thrown was very taxing but so incredibly rewarding.
Beginning Drawing
I took beginning drawing and wheel-thrown ceramics simultaneously in the first half of my second year of college. My confidence in graphite grew exponentially in the span of four months, and I love the pieces that came out of this class.
Beginning Watercolor
I just finished taking beginning watercolor and beginning Alaska Native art in the second semester of my second year of college. This class was challenging but so incredibly rewarding. I've never made paintings this big before in my entire life. I think I keep finding new ways to impress and surprise myself.
Beginning Alaska Native Art
I just finished taking beginning Alaska Native Art and beginning watercolor in the second semester of my second year of college. I'm born and raised here in Alaska, also being Sugpiaq from my mother and her side of the family. I'm so glad I took this course; not only been another wonderful art experience, but it's had the added delights of meeting new friends and learning more about the history, stories, and vital context added to Alaskan Native arts.
Beginning Sculpture
This was an incredibly difficult semester for me, especially since up until this point, I had not declared my major, now entering year 3. I decided by the end of this semester to major in painting, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy my time in sculpture! I wish I had made more during this semester; however, I'm really pleased with how my artwork came out by the end of what was a blur of busy months back to back. This semester taught & solidified two important things for me: I really enjoy making things with my hands, and I've become much more capable as an artist. Joy sometimes really is enough to keep me going.
Intermediate Alaska Native Art
I took my time this semester in learning to refine my beading and woodworking. This, along with not one, but three different gallery shows during the semester kept me busy running around everywhere. I've really come to love flat-stitch beading. If it wasn't obvious enough from the two beaded pieces done below, I also really love birds. I plan to do more & different imagery in the future, but sometimes I also just want to make really self indulgent pieces, and that's what I ended up doing this semester in both of my art classes.
History of Photography
I needed one more art history credit, and I didn't expect my summer to become overtaken by cyanotypes! I adored learning this process and I think sunprinting is something I'll be doing permanently now. It was only required to make like 3 good prints total and I did well over 30!
Intermediate Painting
I was able to skip beginning painting and jump into intermediate painting, which I'm very grateful for! I was really ambitious this semester-- not always in ways that paid off, but I'm glad I gave myself more grace to my exploration and curiosity. Almost every piece I made in this class for this semester focused on exploring ideas and imagery from memory, childhood and nostalgia.
Advanced Alaska Native Art
I kept with woodworking for this semester. I found this semester to be really difficult to keep up with my art courses, as my online classes ate up a significant amount of my time. I spent so much time on a wooden bowl this semester, only to break it towards the end! I started a second bowl I'm still refining, and I'm currently working on finding the most satisfying way to fix the first bowl! I'll be adding the updated images of those bowls very soon!
Personal Art
I make a lot of art! This is more art that is made in my free time, rather than for any classes of mine. Any mediums, any shapes, sizes, and subject matters. Anything goes!
Paintings
Pins
All Other Art
My name is Peter! I'm from Alaska, and I'm currently working on my degree in Alaska Native Art.I want to specialize in making weird and wonderful art. I love making tangible objects; artwork that can be held and interacted with. I'll always love painting and drawing, but there's something so deeply satisfying about drinking out of a mug I made while wearing clothes and jewelry I made by hand, too. Art that is meant to be displayed and enjoyed visually will always have value, but I want the value of my artwork to be through tactile interaction. I hope to make more sculptures that viewers are allowed to touch.I don't want to ever stop learning, creating, or exploring. I hope that I get to do this for the rest of my life. If you've read this far, thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy the rest of my site! :)
