Peter Potapoff Art Studio

156 Maplecourt Cres SE

Calgary, AB T2J 1W1

Tel: 1-403-835-2091

Peter was born and raised in southeastern British Columbia, and currently resides in Calgary, Alberta. Peter received his first set of oil paints when only 10 years old. As a youngster, he would often watch his cousin painting with the assistance of a mail order painting course and it inspired him. “I knew intuitively that painting was something I wanted to do”, says Peter. Quite often, Peter would take his sketchpad and a few paints into the outdoors. During these early times, the only photos he could take were black and white, so he chose to focus on painting from raw nature.
