Career

Peter M. Steeves is a self-taught artist with a career that has spanned over twenty years. His work can be found on exhibit throughout the Chicago land area. The work merges elements of primitive symbolic, postmodern realism with a bit of a surrealistic twist. He sits on the board of the Elmhurst Gartist Guild , as well as Gallery Chairman for the Guild Gallery at the Elmhurst Art Museum.

The driving force behind the art is the fact that it is cheaper than therapy for both the artist and the collectors
