Where to Read Peter Shaughnessy's Artist Statement and Studio Information
Updated
Peter Shaughnessy's artist statement and studio information are both published on his own website, petershaughnessy.ca. The site's navigation includes an Artist's Statement page and a Peter's Studio page, and the homepage describes his work as "Fine craft sculpture... with a twist." If you want his own words on why and how he makes sculpture, start with the Artist's Statement page; if you want to see where the work is made, go to Peter's Studio.
What each section of the site offers
The site is organized as a small artist portfolio rather than a gallery storefront. Based on the site's navigation and homepage content, these are the sections you can use:
| Section | What you'll find there |
|---|---|
| Artist's Statement | The sculptor's own explanation of his work and approach |
| Peter's Studio | Information about his workspace and working environment |
| Recent Works | Current sculptures |
| Not so recent works | Earlier pieces |
| Invictus to Haida Gwaii | A separate project or body of work with additional context |
| Other Stuff | Miscellaneous material |
| Purchasing | Information on buying work |
| Contact | How to reach the artist |
| Linx | External links |
The homepage also notes that his pieces combine wood, glass, brass, and acrylic paints, and are "designed to entertain and move you." That line is a useful preview of the statement itself, which is where the fuller reasoning behind the materials and themes should appear.
How to find the statement and studio pages
- Open petershaughnessy.ca.
- Use the site menu to select Artist's Statement for his written statement, or Peter's Studio for studio information.
- For more context on specific projects, check Invictus to Haida Gwaii and the two works galleries.
One practical note: the homepage contains a visible placeholder error ("This block is invalid. Please check the block settings and try again.") and some leftover template text ("Aenean eu leo Quam..."). If a section looks broken or unfinished, that reflects the site's current state rather than a missing page — try the menu links directly instead of relying on homepage summaries.
Reaching the artist directly
If the statement or studio pages don't answer your question, the site lists direct contact details:
- Phone: 250-476-1170
- Email: [email protected]
- Address: Tatlayoko Lake, BC (the homepage lists both 7210 and 7130 Tatlayoko Rd, so confirm the correct number before sending mail)
The site does not state prices, opening hours, or visiting policies, so ask about studio visits or purchases through the contact details rather than assuming access. The Purchasing page is the place to check first for buying information.
