Juliet Peter (1915-2010) was a New Zealand artist and illustrator. Born in Anama in rural Mid Canterbury, she did not receive a formal education but attended the Canterbury College School of Art after returning to New Zealand with her sister in the 1930s. Peter began working for the Department of Education in 1947 as an illustrator, and also exhibited her works at various galleries during this time. In 1952, she married potter Roy Cowan and moved to London to study at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and Hammersmith School of Art.
Peter's work was exhibited at various galleries and shows, including The Eighties Show at The Dowse Art Museum in 1999, which featured artists who were still active in their eighties. She was awarded a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2000 Queen's Birthday Honours for her services to the arts. more...
