Peter J Giaccio

My love of art eventually led me to pursue a career in Graphic Arts in New York City. After attending the School of Visual Arts and 25 years of meetings and deadlines in Advertising, satisfying our clients wishes gave way to satisfying my wishes. During the summer of 2004, I returned to my true passion and started to spend time sketching outdoors using oil pastels. Self-taught, I've been drawing since I was a child and have never enjoyed it more. Rendering onsite is an essential and pleasant aspect of my work and I would prefer to be nowhere else. There is no deeper thought given to my sketches other than I simply try to record what I see. I believe my work is a somewhat different approach to a traditional discipline.

Original oil pastel sketches rendered on the streets of Historic Jersey City are available for sale, consignment and home portraits. Please contact Peter if you are interested in any of the images you see on this website and many others not shown. Please visit http://www.lincolnparkscapes.com
