FESTIVAL - Key Persons


John Currie-Peterson

Throughout my childhood in Roseville, Minnesota, I could always be found with pencils and colors in my hand. When my mother shares her angst about her middle child, she swells with pride for the cleanliness of her walls, as all my early-collected works were erased from existence. I credit my grandma with introducing me to paper and poster board, thus preserving my future contributions. Other expressions of my artistic exploration include theatre performance, writing, and historical study. As in my early childhood, my mother is a left-handed source of inspiration here too. My babysitter was T.V.: Batman, Superman, The Lone Ranger, Star Trek-the original episodes, Saturday morning cartoons and afternoon wrestling. I have passed these traditions on to my three children, and they show promise. Family traditions and stories also fostered my interest in my mother's Scottish ancestry. In 1996, tradition and art coalesced to bring you 3 Celts & Company. Enjoy.
