Peter Bering

I am an artist and teacher with over 30 years educating youth in art and art history. My story originates in Molidorf, Jugoslavia - a place that no longer exists - and is shaped by surviving the unimaginable.

I first discovered my artistic roots as a young boy in a concentration camp creating images to entertain myself and other starving children. My first artistic supplies including a stick, my imagination and the sand or mud beneath my feet.

Surviving those hardships and immigrating to Canada in 1951 was a blessing that reignited an enforced love for life. In this new life, I became a husband, father, and a teacher of art and citizenship.

Each of my pieces reflects this enduring appreciation for life, etched with symbolism. Every work is accompanied by a written poem, story, or brief reflection, adding depth to the journey I aim to share.

I hope you enjoy exploring my Mind’s Eye Journey.
