Art

Peterson is a multimedia and collage artist whose work has been displayed at Southampton Arts Center in Southampton Village, New York, with the art collective Fresh Art Long Island;[2] at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, New York;[3] and Elisa Contemporary in Riverdale, New York,[4] among many more galleries.

In 2014, Peterson began practicing toy photography, the art of arranging and photographing action figures and other toys using dioramas or real-world landscapes as backgrounds, creating the illusion that the toys are life-size.[5] He joined the burgeoning community of toy photographers on Instagram using the handle @oliversees.[6] In 2016, toy company Hasbro chose one of Peterson's photographs of Star Wars figures to display at San Diego Comic-Con.[7] Peterson creates his own dioramas and makes his own props, and says, "I look at the world from 6-inch standpoint and make it work."[8]
