Peter Brooke has exhibited his landscape-based paintings regularly for the past fifteen years in Boston, in New York, and in many other sites throughout New England and along the East Coast.  During this time the work has evolved considerably, from depictions of dark, forboding Delaware wetlands to vaulting atmospheres gathering above the Irish coast to inventions, in the vocabulary of the Vermont hill country, in which trees appear to be forming out of thin air or dissolving out of existence.

In his newest work, Brooke extends his interest in images of the natural world as a means for exploring the subtle and fleeting nature of human experience. "This group of paintings," Brooke says, "falling somewhere between reality, dream, and personal myth, explores the extraordinary in an ordinary natural environment."

Brooke's paintings have been shown recently at the List Gallery, Swarthmore College; the McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College; and the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, New York.
