Live Painting by Pete A.

Pete is an accomplished, self-taught artist. He paints stunning landscapes with colorful sunsets, birch trees, and serene blue waters. Watercolor is his favorite medium.

Pete’s connection with Simpson Housing Services began over two years ago when he moved into one of the organization’s single adult housing communities. Prior to coming to Simpson, Pete experienced homelessness for nearly a year. His paintings now adorn the lobby, community room, and hallways of his apartment building, providing warmth, color, and glimpses of natural beauty to these shared spaces.

“I don’t mind doing my share. Not at all. And if it helps Simpson, why not? They helped me.”
