Peter Kitchell

Biography

Peter Kitchell was encouraged to paint from an early age. In San Francisco, he attended art classes for children at the Museum of Modern Art and De Young Museum.

In 1970 Kitchell set off on a journey that took him through Europe, Northern and Central Africa, the Caribbean and across the United States. Shortly thereafter, he went from the museums of Europe to the raw desert culture of Morocco, travelling throughout the African continent.

His large scale watercolors reference nature, both primal and pastoral, influences of the landscapes and cultures he has experienced, the light and color absorbed during those travels.

Kitchell shows consistently at several galleries and his works are included in the corporate collections of AT&T, Dean Witter & Co., ITEL, Stanford University, Bank of America, ARCO, Westinghouse Corporation, and IBM Corporation.
