Books
Peterson studied art and dance at Brigham Young University (BYU). She works primarily in watercolor, pastel, pen and ink, batik, and oils.[2] One reviewed explained, "There is much about sisterhood and motherhood in Peterson's oils; her warm palette narratives plead for peace, love and understanding."[3]
Peterson's work has been included in numerous art exhibits including at the Central Utah Art Center.[4] A series of 11 paintings of women from the scriptures were exhibited at the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.[5] She has been commissioned by Deseret Book Company for numerous book illustrations.[6] Peterson is the illustrator for the Girls Who Choose God series of books.[7]
