Peter Coes was born in 1946 in Springfield, Massachusetts, but his first real neighborhood was in nearby Longmeadow. There he grew up in a creative household, with a mother who painted portraits and a father who painted for fun. Peter always made pictures and some of his own toys, and he encountered only encouragement when he decided to go to art school. After majoring in sculpture at the University of Hartford, Peter lived in a cabin in the woods in Granby, Massachusetts. By day he held a routine job, but in the evenings continued his artwork. Since there wasn’t enough room to make sculptures, he turned to painting. On the day he made his first sale–an art dealer bought five paintings at once–Peter left his day job behind and resolved to succeed as an artist. Represented at Cove Road: 508.247.9172
