I began painting full time in 2012 after working thirty-one years as a trial attorney for the United States Department of Labor. On the way to getting my law degree, I studied figurative sculpture and art history at Hartford Art School, and studied figurative sculpture, art history and drawing at S.U.N.Y. at Stony Brook. While at Stony Brook, I studied under the sculptor George Koras, assistant to the sculptor Jacques Lipchitz (1891 - 1973). More recently, I studied figurative sculpture and painting at the Lill Street Art Center in Chicago under the sculptor Sergio Ceron and the painter Bob Horn. I am a member of the Chicago Alliance of Visual Artists.
My paintings are in multiple private collections in Chicago. My paintings also appear on the figurative artist website: https://figurativeartist.org/peter-broitman/
My instagram username is peterbroitman.
