through life,” he says. “So mine was the creative problem-solving mind and a sense of rightness. I know when something is off.” While his focus is mainly impressionist fine art, his work has ranged from painting, photography, building design, graphic design, boat design, commissioned portraiture, and custom work commissioned by corporate clients. He has had exhibitions throughout North America and has earned a number of awards, including a Golden Squeegee Award/ World’s Best Serigraph from the Screen Printers Association. He created the silkscreen work in collaboration with Michael Caza of Atelier D’Art in Paris, France, who is world-renowned for his work with Picasso, Miro, Chagall and Dali. Fromme-Douglas has worked in all mediums and enjoys the creative stimulation that comes with mastering a new technique. For example, he will take a photograph and transform it using a different medium and his 30 years of photo editing and manipulating skills. “There’s a constant desire for me to come up with something that no one else has done. That’s what drives me to the next thing,” he says. Fromme-Douglas is currently working with 500 of more than 1,500 black and white photos from the Cameron Peck boat collection. These photos, which have not been seen by the public, feature boats that Peck had either built or acquired. These boats were seen around Lake of Bays and the Muskoka area in the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s. Since he was a boy, Peck and his family used to travel from Chicago, IL to the Baysville area for their summer vacations. He later became a boat enthusiast and amassed a collection of 40 to 50 boats and steamers. Some of the vessels were stored at the Baysville Marina, which he once owned. Fromme-Douglas stumbled upon the images when a friend had a CD that contained a small sampling of the photos. In addition, Fromme-Douglas is also working on a series of new art titled Movement. He started it last summer and Top: Peter Fromme-Douglas created this massive John Lennon painting, A Crack In The Wall, which is on display in his Port Carling gallery.
