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 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 [Russell, Marilyn, “Woman of the Week: Paige Peterson,” "Philadelphia Inquirer", Nov 22, 2006.] and "spare but evocative" by the San Francisco Chronicle. [McMahon, Regan, “Tiburon's Beloved Blackie is Galloping Again in a New Book,” "San Francisco Chronicle", September 27, 2006] 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, [Colacello, Bob, and Becker, Jonathan, "Studios by the Sea", Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, 2002.] and, a year later, she was selected for lifetime membership in the Guild Hall Academy ofthe Arts. [Russell, ibid] 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. [Cerf, Christopher, and Peterson, Paige. "Blackie, The Horse Who Stood Still", Welcome Books, New York, 2006.] Her most recent exhibition was in July 2008, when her work was featured in a one-woman show at the Spanierman Gallery in East Hampton, New York.
