Peter Sottong's art is known as cold casting, which is wood core metallic works of art. A pattern is created, wood pieces are fabricated and assembled in a 3-D format. Multiple layers of ground bronze, silver, pewter, iron, brass or copper are applied over time. Finally, patinas and other finishes are added to create one-of-a-kind images. Because each piece is entirely encased in metal, they can be displayed on both interior and exterior environments. His sculptures are held in private and corporate collections and he recently was honored by the State of Florida by the purchase of one of his pieces for the Art in State Program.

A veteran of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, Peter served two years in the National Guard and four years in the U.S. Nave as a medic. He received a Master's Degree from the University of Maryland and is the founder of a medical diagnostic firm in the Washington, D.C. area. He is married and has three sons and three grandchildren.
