G. PETERSPeters was born in 1980 in Regina, Saskatchewan and raised in the neighboring town of Lumsden. She graduated in 2006 from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Ceramics. She currently resides in Montreal, Quebec.
Working primarily in ceramic, fibre, and painting mediums, Peters experiments with mixed media techniques to combine these materials both sculpturally and two dimensionally. Recurrent subjects in her work in all mediums are nostalgia, decay and change as she finds inspiration in historical imagery and in the beauty of aging.
Peters has exhibited in the Illingworth Kerr Gallery and the Marion Nicoll Gallery in Calgary and the Chagall Gallery and Kamena Gallery in Edmonton and has taken part in several group exhibitions at the Red Deer College, Sage Theatre, the Alberta College of Art and Design, and the University of Regina. She was a recipient of the Jason Lang Scholarship and a nominee for the Governor General Award in 2006. |
