Peter
Kalill was born and raised in Springfield,
Massachusetts. He began his first formal studies in art
at Providence College in Rhode Island. In his third year
of college, he studied painting, drawing, and art history
in Florence, Italy. Peter returned to Providence and
earned a B.A. in drawing in 1995.
After his graduation, Peter moved to Cape Cod and continued
to learn all he could about painting. He combined his passion
for art with his interest in travel, and spent many winters
traveling to Honduras, and Guatemala and all over Mexico. It
was on a trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where he befriended
landscape painter Frank Gardner, who introduced him to plein
air painting.
Upon returning home from his second winter in San Miguel,
Peter was accepted into Addison Art Gallery, in Orleans, MA,
where his first show in the U.S. was a great success. Peter’s
work has attracted the attention of many collectors throughout
the U.S. and Canada, and has been featured in many publications
including Cape Cod Life, Cape
Cod Art Review, and American
Art Collector magazines. His work has been exhibited in the
Cape Cod Museum of Art, and at juried shows at the Copley Society
of Art, and The Guild of Boston Artists.
Peter Kalill lives on Cape Cod with his wife Kathleen, and their
daughter Violet. He continues to travel to San Miguel and places
throughout the U.S., Mexico, Europe, and Canada in search of
great places to paint.
