Juror
Peter Hazel 

Biography: Since 2005, second generation artist Peter Hazel has been creating stunning permanent mosaic sculptures in ceramic, tile and glass. Primarily depicting the natural world, Peter is a master of form and scale and imbues his pieces with energy and vibrant color palettes that reflect his love of nature. He works in both 2 and 3 dimensional sculptures, reliefs and mosaic panels. 

With thirty years experience as a custom tile and granite designer, he worked with high end builders and discerning private clients. He designed, built and installed custom tile and granite countertops along with one of a kind alabaster sinks and handmade mosaic tiled detail work. 

On a trip to Barcelona in 2008, Hazel came across the works of Antoni Gaudi. "After seeing Gaudi's work, I couldn't wait to get home and start creating my own. As my first piece, I made a bird bath for a friend as a birthday gift.  The whole experience was not only profound and enjoyable, but the reaction was so positive that it really inspired me to take it further. I didn't know if it was going to be good, and apart from my experience with ceramics and stone, I was entering new territory. I was so inspired by what I had seen in Gaudi's work."

In his most recent years, Peter has grown to be an established artist and has installed many public art pieces in Nevada, California, Utah, Colorado, and more. His ability to create monumental sculptures standing as tall as 40 feet, have captured the eyes of many. These large works have been displayed at Burning Man for many years and are his most impressive and intricate works of art. 

At 61, he believes his art career has just begun, and is excited for what’s to come.
