2008 Summer Artist-in-Residence

A 2005 graduate of the Waldorf School of Garden City, Peter Foster grew up in New York and is now a student at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture in Manhattan. His recent interest in painting tended to the abstract, but while at Glen Brook he hopes to develop proficiency in /plein-aire/ landscape painting, offering a unique understanding of the New Hampshire countryside -- trees, farm animals, human activity, buildings. He can often be seen around the camp and neighboring countryside perched on a milk crate in front of his easel. Meanwhile, in art classes he has offered instruction in painting Glen Brook's farm animals, the chickens and sheep, and observing nature through art.
