Peter Agardy grew up in South Florida and is heavily influenced by his natural surroundings from the ocean, the woods, and urban life as well. Growing up fishing and surfing the waters of Florida and the Bahamas, Peter gained a lifelong passion for nature and the sea. Coming from a family line of artists and painters, he felt naturally driven to pursue and explore the arts. Starting at the age of 9, he quickly pursued drawing and painting and created imagery and illustration from the world around him. During his teens Peter started to gain a passion for the art of Graffiti. Heavily influenced by this movement, he dabbled in the art form from time to time as his method of placing his art in the public eye.
After graduating from Florida Atlantic University with a Fine Arts degree in December 2008, Peter has continued and succeeded in bringing his thoughts and experiences to life onto canvases and wall spaces. In November 2009, Peter was published in the new book Miami Graffiti by Prestel Publishing Peter has recently been working with the city of Boynton Beach Florida's Art in Public Places program helping bring three new large scale murals to the community.
Peter debuted a solo exhibition at Eaton Fine Art in West Palm Beach in 2010, which solidified his statement of work and shed light on his vivid wild imagery. "I have always meshed whatever surrounding forces are driving me into the body of work I'm doing. Sometimes my work lends itself to different areas of importance in my life, whether that be my lifestyle on the ocean,my lifestyle in the wildnerness or in society, which I live and paint into one body of life’s work " -Peter
