ARTIST Roy Peterson - one of the main driving forces behind the Bigger Picture Gallery in the former car showroom at the top of Anerley Hill - has moved into new premises The Scarf Gallery in Church Road, Crystal Palace next to The Alma public house.
Born in Kinston, North Carolina, Roy developed his early interest in structural art forms by working with ceramics, sculpture and painting. His artistic talent was acknowledged when he was awarded a distinction for his ceramic work at a major Florida arts festival. His keen sense of form and colour was instantly employed in the Street of Dreams project, designing and painting extravagant murals in the multi-million dollar homes of the rich and famous.
In the summer of 2001 Roy moved from California to England with his partner and dog. He now splits his time between working for Stonewall Equality and developing his paintings in his South London studio while working on arts projects such as Bigger Picture Gallery and future exhibitions.
Recent exhbitions include Bigger Picture Gallery Founders Show 2009, Bigger Picture Summer Group Show 2010, Starbucks Coffee Group (City of London) 2010 to present, Dish Catreing (Greenwich), The Scarf Gallery Gallery (Crystal Palace, London) 2011 to present.
