"Rusty Peters is a deep thinking artist who contemplates for days and in some cases years on how he is going to translate a particular story to canvas. Peters has been known to sit on a chair from daybreak to sunset occasionally glancing at an empty canvas. The artist's meditation period is the most intense part of his creative process and there is a feeling of relief on the completion of a painting when the internal world of memory has been translated into the physical world. Painting is a serious and often painful activity for the artist who takes the law of his country seriously. Many of Peter's paintings are homages to his grandfather and father who taught him the dreamings of his country as a young boy."
