About Artist

Peter Jeschke

I was born and raised in New Hampshire, a rural state in the northeastern US. I met my wife in Kathmandu in 1972 and we were married in India shortly thereafter. After attending college and leading professional lives, we now shuttle between our home in northeast India and our CloverCroft farmhouse in New Hampshire, and we do our charitable work. Although I have taken photographs since I was a teenager, it was not till later in life that I turned my passion into a profession. My personal quest has always been to be at the right places at the right moments to experience the world’s wonders. Whether those moments are the miraculous birth of a child, the magical appearance of a rainbow, the artful interplay of light and architecture, a fleeting expression on a transcendently beautiful face, a glorious sunrise, a spectacular sunset, frost crystals silently forming out of thin air, or the climactic result of human endeavor, I want to hear and see and feel it all! My professional mission is to capture special moments of wonder as impactful photographic images, and to share them - to educate, to entertain, and to inspire. I have spent the past eight winters on the “Frost On My Windows” project documenting how natural exterior light refracts through ice crystals that grow at night on my old farmhouse windows. These frost crystals are only the tiniest fraction of an inch thick, yet their crystalline structure profoundly affects the passage of light, producing striking three-dimensional depth effects. My frost images challenge the notion that art must be manmade. Upon seeing them, and grasping how natural processes created the colorful compositions, I hope the viewer asks the questions, “What is art?” and “Can nature create art?”
