Short Bio
Peters is a visual artist based in New Orleans, USA and raised in the south of England. She graduated with a first class BSc with a major in biology in 2019 and has a strong interest in science and technology. She taught herself to paint with the encouragement of her mother who would frequently take her to see art shows, and spent one year at Loyola, New Orleans, during which she learned to paint and to explore the world as both a scientist and creative. Their work stems from an empirical understanding of the world coupled with a highly emotional response to it as she explores gender, conflict and the subconscious through a variety of media. She is inspired by the continuing battle humans face as animals existing between logic and sensuality. Peters was the winner of The Ashurst Emerging Artist prize (2019) and the CHBH (Centre for Human Brain Health) artwork competition (2019) and was also highly commended by the Visual Art Open award (2020). She has shown works internationally in Lisbon, New Orleans, Birmingham (UK) and Central London.
