The Pastel Art of Peter B. Gallo

Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA and now residing in the North Jersey area. Peter spent his younger days fascinated with the process of drawing and painting.

Attended the Philadelphia College of Art (now The University of The Arts) and graduated with a degree in Graphic Design. His career spanned fifty years in Graphic Design, art direction, advertising and marketing- but, never enough drawing and painting.

Now retired, he finds himself focusing on aspects of his art that he enjoys the most. Employing pastel pencil, he focuses on scenes he has photographed in his travels and also on memories of places from his past.
