A little about the Painting and The Artist
Peter began as a street artist doing pencil portraits just 16 years ago on the streets of Saint Augustine Florida and now owns three galleries in the South East of America. He hails from Staten Island New York and like many many others, was directly impacted by the horrific events of the 9/11 atrocity. Peter's original oil painting was auctioned for $20,000 on October 10th 2001. The Original now hangs in the Fire Fighters Museum in New York City
100% of the proceeds from the sale of the original was donated to the New York City Fireman and Emergency Service Relief Fund
The O'Neill gallery has donated over 14,000 lithographs of the “Two Minutes of Silence” to Fire Departments, Police Departments and Emergency Service Stations. Their intention is to donate, with the support of the public, to every station throughout the United States of America.
