Peter Basta
Seaway Artist

I grew up in Ogdensburg and spent my summers along the St. Lawrence River, where I was captivated by the sight of massive ships navigating the seaway. Whether I was riding their waves on an inner tube or gazing up at them from a small fishing boat, those encounters filled me with awe and sparked a lifelong fascination with these travelers from distant places.

The Available Works section features paintings that are currently for sale, while the Past Works section reflects my journey of growth, experimentation, and exploration of this subject.

Check back often to see newly added pieces, and feel free to reach out if you’re interested in a commission—I’d be happy to discuss creating something special for you.
