BIO

Jeff Petersen is a painter, illustrator and muralist who has been based in San Francisco for the last 20 years. His paintings have appeared in various groups shows in California. His murals range from public art projects (SFAC StreetSmArts program, Palo Alto Children’s Library) to private commissions ( Escape From NY Pizza, Little Chihuahua restaurants). He has created music posters for the Fillmore Auditorium ( Bill Graham Presents) and editorial art for the indie music magazine Devil in the Woods. He is also grateful to have the chance to combine his love of surfing and the ocean by creating art for magazines such as Surfer’s Path, Surfer, Surfer’s Journal and illustrating the book Lost Coast by author Drew Kampion. He graduated from San Francisco State in 1992 with a degree in fine art with an emphasis in painting and drawing.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I live and work in San Francisco, California with my wife and son. I paint and sculpt. Occasionally I illustrate books, posters and articles in magazines. I also paint murals.
I think mystery and the unknown are undervalued and also inspiring. My interpretations of the world are mostly rooted in nature and it’s also where I find inspiration which I then, express through my art.
