Eric C. Peterson, a.k.a. “Yonah,” is an accomplished, established, and original creative force in the world of painting and fine art.
He also happens to be identified as “legally blind.”
Yonah’s work transcends the limitations of labels and language. While his primary artistic expression has been painting, he has also produced sculptural pieces, and is exploring photography. His paintings are abstract and expressionist, with heart, soul, and spirit.
Yonah [Eric C. Peterson] enriched my understanding of what a true artist can convey, not only with depth and color for those who can see, but can share even beyond the visual to the world of touch.. The old expression that is often parroted is “a picture is worth a thousand words," but this is often lost in the tactile world of those of us who cannot see. Not so when viewing Yonah's work. Thank you for the wonderful tour of your touch-scapes. My hands, which are my eyes, have seen the varied works you have painted. Your work should be shared so that the world can also see through touch. Sharon H.Ewing
