CHARLES PETERSON
		With his studio overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan, much of Charles Peterson's art reflects
		his love for sailing and the sea. Paintings of the great sailing ships and wonderful seascapes
		have long provided Peterson with both financial and professional success. Peterson's work
		has also been featured in the most prestigious galleries in the country and in juried shows of
		international significance.
		But if Peterson's marine paintings have brought professional prestige and recognition, it is his
		unique "memories" paintings that have brought national popularity. Painted with the same
		personal interest, Peterson's "Memories Collection" of limited edition prints combine the
		elements of an old, forgotten site with the very subtle reflection of the special times that are
still real for those who remember. New releases are awaited anxiously by collectors all across the United States and Canada.
The Memories Collection strikes a chord in all of us who have fond memories of simpler times. Regardless of subject, Charles
Peterson collectors have come to expect a consistent quality that comes only from a lifetime of study and work. Eight years
of advanced art training, a successful twenty year career as a college professor of art, and an additional twenty years of painting
full time have all contributed to the extraordinary watercolor compositions of a true master, Charles Peterson.
