Peter Hite- 2/8/15

Peter Hite is local Houstonian artist. When I was younger everyone knew Peter's kids, and also knew that his dad was an artist. However, I really never knew what he did until just today, when my mom said that he had released new art. I then found out that he works primary with large planes of canvas and decks them our with stamps. Some of his stamps date back to the 1800s, from around the world. He gets commissioned from museums all over the world to make certain pieces, his last piece is called The River created for Jacksonville, Florida. It is made with more than 300,000 vintage native stamps to Florida. He also has a series of pieces commissioned for the Texas museum. My mom and dad are very partial to these pieces, seeing as he only lives a few blocks away from my house. Unfortunately, I have only just seen his work for the first time. I knew he was an artist, but never knew what he did, or the uniqueness to his work. After looking at this, I which I had known before! Such talent, from my home of Houston, Texas!
