PETER C STOCKER

Inspired by Galisteo’s rock formations, and the stories embedded within them, Peter is experimenting with substrates and surfaces:  everything from masonite to skateboard decks.

Self taught, if you ask him why he took up painting in his twenties, it was to put something on his naked walls. For much of his life, family and a career in brand design took him away from the canvas, but when The Drolls asked him to design a record cover, his knowledge of graphic design furthered his work as an artist. Recently, a long, slow recovery from a devastating mountain bike accident became a dedicated and prolific return to painting. Unable to ride, he would hike and photograph the Galisteo rocks; then at home he would sit at his father’s drafting table and translate the rocks into paintings.
