Brandt Elling Peters is a multidisciplinary self-taught artist currently living in Tampa, FL with his wife, fellow artist, Kathie Olivas.  He has been exhibiting in numerous leading galleries and museums across North America. Having living on the west coast most of his life and coming from a family of uber ‘antique’ collectors and artists, his eclectic upbringing was filled with a wide range of ’Pop’ ephemera.  Many of those inspirations now show up in his work and stem from the backdrop of his southern California childhood such as antiquities, comic books, toys and cartoons.  Peters' imagery comes from carnival and circus characters.  His muscular and active illustrations retain a cartoon quality that provides more levity and storytelling.
