About the Artist

Peter Krebs was born 1971 in Kansas and grew up in suburban Washington, DC. He was a National Merit scholar at the Blair math/science magnet school and went to night school at the Maryland College of Art and Design. He matriculated to the College of William and Mary, with dual concentrations of Fine Arts and Western Civilization. Peter spent his junior year in Montpellier, France, where he studied drawing and Art History, and graduated from William and Mary in 1993 with High Honors.

After college he settled in Washington, DC and quickly established himself in the cultural community there, exhibiting his work and founding artist co-ops, roundtables, and salons. After extended stays in Pittsburgh and Paris, Peter relocated to the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. After building a reputation as a stone carver and community organizer, the birth of his son in 2003 led Peter to return to his roots as a two-dimensional artist and reawakened his interest in the natural world.

In June, 2009, Peter moved with his wife and son to Charlottesville, VA where he currently resides. He exhibits nationally with solo gallery shows in Washington, Paris, New York, and Virginia. He has attended the Vermont Studio Center and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, is represented in many viewing libraries and is currently in residence at the McGuffey Art Center.
