Pete Prown has led a 35-year career in journalism, busily working as a writer, magazine editor, and landscape photographer. For the past 20 years, he’s honed his craft as an oil painter specializing in landscapes, still life, and botanicals. The artist notes, “Many of my works strive to evoke a sense of calm and contemplation. I spend a great deal of time seeking these ideals in my art, music, writing, and jaunts in the woods. I grew up in the northeast US, surrounded by farms, pastures, and wooded landscapes, and this is reflected in my paintings. Among the artists that inspire me include Martin Johnson Heade, Raphaelle Peale, Jasper Johns, Asher B. Durand, N.C. Wyeth, and George Stubbs.”
