Peter Etril Snyder

For almost forty years, Peter Etril Snyder has demonstrated his versatility in paintings of Mennonite country life as well as in scenes from across North America and Europe. Since his time at the Ontario College of Art, this Mennonite-reared, Waterloo-born artist (b. 1944) has exhibited his style through original paintings, murals, limited edition reproductions, collector plates, books, and posters.

In addition to his celebrated works of Mennonite life, his paintings of Britain are eagerly collected. His frequent travels also provide new material from around the world. These travel sketches formed the basis for a weekly newspaper column in two newspapers.
