Yes, I'm familiar with the work of Peter Egeli. He comes from a family of painters. His father Bjorn Peter Egeli was very well known and painted many official portraits for the government, many of which can be seen online. Brother Cedric Egeli and his wife are painters on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and give workshops, I believe once a year in Cape Cod. BJ Egeli, another brother is also a painter, though last I spoke with him, he was moving away from portraiture. There is a daughter Carolyn Egeli who paints.
Grandfather Bjorn Peter:
