Mr. Corey Peters
Instructor and Founder
Corey Peters grew up in La Cañada, at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Inspired by his grandmother, also a painter, from a young age Corey saw the possibility of life as a working artist. Continuing to paint and draw throughout childhood, he later entered the Art Center College of Design, where he pursued a staggering array of different styles and mediums.
In the last decade, Corey embraced landscape painting, working in the open air in the great mountains and beaches across the United States. Dedicated to constant study, he takes inspiration from both the art and tireless work ethic of Edgar Payne and Aldro Hibbard. As a teacher, Corey challenges his students to make work with intention, develop their craft, themselves, while emphasizing the broad application of creative critical thinking and problem-solving to every aspect of daily life.
