At the gallery, find oil paintings in a variety of subject matter, fine art photography, metal art, functional art, fibre art and more.

READ on to discover MORE about Brian and Peter Street Fine Arts Gallery & Studio.
You just celebrated the 10 Year Anniversary of Peter Street Fine Arts Gallery & Studio. It’s an amazing milestone! What are some of the highlights of the past ten years?

There are so many different highlights. I would say the one that means the most to me is being a part of something with such talented artists both past and present. Also meeting people when they come to the gallery for guest artist opening receptions, sidewalk sales, Starry Night or just to browse. One that stands out for me was when a two Snowbird Pilots came to the gallery recently to see a model I had carved.

Describe your art journey? What brought you to oil painting?
 
For me when I wanted to try painting I happened to start with oils. I have tried most mediums but I love oil painting. It is the one that gives me the most pleasure
 
You are often recognized for your ‘streetscapes’ and Orillia scenes, but what are your favourite subjects to paint?
 
Over time I have become known for painting streetscapes and landmarks but I also enjoy painting many other things like cars, pets, cottages, hockey scenes, maple syrup scenes and much more.
