Peter Stein is a multi-discipline artist who loves drawing, designing, and making books for kids. On any given day he may be moving from a six-foot graphite drawing to a mid-century-modern-inspired abstract piece to the manuscript or art for a children’s book.
His large-scale figurative drawings explore empathy, our inner lives, and the human condition. His abstract work grew from a lifelong love of doodling and provides a counterpoint to the meticulous realism of his graphite drawings.
Peter’s work has been exhibited locally as well as at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. He lives with his family in Northern California.
