Paige Matthews Peterson (born March 19, 1955 in Marin County, California) is an American painter and illustrator specializing in acrylic landscapes, portraits, and figural images. She is the former daughter-in-law of billionaire and former US Secretary of Commerce Peter George Peterson. She now lives and works in New York City and East Hampton, Long Island. Peterson's work has been characterized as "lyrical" by the Philadelphia Inquirer[1] and "spare but evocative" by the San Francisco Chronicle.[2] Peterson has been exhibited regularly in galleries from California to Maine (where, in 2004, her paintings appeared in a group show that also featured works by Christo, Chuck Close, and Alex Katz).

In 2002, Paige Peterson was featured in Studios by the Sea, a photographic account, by Bob Colacello and Jonathan Becker, of artists working and living on Long Island's East End,[3] and, a year later, she was selected for lifetime membership in the Guild Hall Academy of the Arts.[4] In 2006, she co-authored and illustrated the children's book Blackie, The Horse Who Stood Still, which is in its fifth printing from Welcome Books in New York City.[5] In July 2008 her work was featured in a one-woman show at the Spanierman Gallery in East Hampton, New York.[6] In March 2011 Paige had a show at the Gerald Peters Gallery in New York City. The show was curated by Peter Marcelle. Christopher Cerf and Paige Peterson have a new children's book "Skidboot the Dog" coming out in Spring 2012.[7] Peterson also illustrated Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, edited by Jesse Kornbluth.[8][9]

Peterson served as the Executive Vice President with the Ben Barnes Group.[10] She was also the Vice President of Special Projects for Welcome Books, where she has an imprint, Cerf & Peterson.[11]

Peterson serves as the Chief Consultant for Growth and Development at the Attitudinal Healing International organization.[12] She also sits on the Board of Directors of the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations.[13]

Peterson is currently the Executive Vice President at the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.[14]
