Bruce J. Peeso, American contemporary, born 1951.

Bruce Peeso was born in Bronxville, New York in 1951. He received his degree in fine arts from Ohio University in 1973 and spent a year as a teacher in art before traveling extensively throughout the eastern United States, painting and gathering reference material from which to draw inspiration.

Following the tradition of painters from the Hudson River School, Peeso's paintings focus on the American landscape reflecting a strength and simplicity. His works show an expansiveness of space and the interplay of light and shadow. Peeso's paintings have been featured in many exhibitions from Massachusetts to Florida.

His works have been purchased by numerous public and private collections such as the Disney Corporation and Mr. Burt Reynolds. He has been the recipient of more than 350 awards. Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother so admired his work, that she selected one of his pictures as her private Christmas card, which was published by Valentine’s of Dundee. £200 for the pair
