| Comments: | I was truly overwhelmed by your "Lady Asleep" sculpted with Carrara marble.Years ago, I spent a few months in Massa Carrara (where Michaelangelo carved the famous "Pieta". I stayed with a wealthy professoress by the name of Iris Bieneme, who was a direct descendent of Napoleon Bonapart.
Nevertheless, I just wanted to let you know that I think you are a truly gifted and talented artist. I have a cousin, Ada Venturelli, who lives in N. Castella, I dream of visiting her and her family, but unfortunately, who can afford the high airfare? Oh well. God Bless You Peter Schipperheyn!!! |

| Comments: | Beautiful sculpture. The one on Laurie's grave is so real. You are definately a Master and if they weren't so expensive, I'd sure look into having one. Keep up your work. This world is so into modern technologies that the old arts are slipping away. Thank you for sharing your story and your work.

| Comments: | Well may you have great pride in not only your creation - but the history of it - we feel sure his widow would have been well satisfied with your finished sculpture which captivates and intrigues those fortunate enough to even see a photo of it. We have a long term friend - an undertaker and often on our travels - wonder through a graveyard to note the unusual as he is a stone mason too and also gets marble from Italy. Not quite the sculptor of your level but he would have extreme appreciation of the piece. Recently visited Perth and was astonished to note how many bronze larger than life items are there. You should make Perth Council aware of your skills as they have so many varied projects that maybe of mutual interest. We are seniors and spend our winters in Indonesia and Thailand but would be interested to be informed if ever you are having an exhibition. Sadly - only to look and photograph - think your project is stunning and will remain unique in our memory. Phillip & Shirley Murray |

| Comments: | What a wonderful story, As you can see it is 5.30 and I have been up for hours thinking of sculpture among other things,I have drawn ever since I can remember, painted on and off since I was 16 and started sculpture about 4 years ago in Hebel and have now taken up papier mache. I really want to get into resin as I saw some fabulous sculptures by Don Stewart in Port Fairy at Christmas but obviously dont want to copy him but need to get my ideas gelling in my brain before they will come through my fingers. Feel definitely resin is the way to go, your marble is fabulous, but its too costly and everything else for me (at this moment) I cant believe how "lucky" you were to meet a patrone, but fully believe you draw to yourself what you need (whether you put other labels on that process is up to oneself and ones upbringing)but I seem to be buggering around and not getting anywhere at the moment. Anyway, enough of my predawn raving, I just wanted to say how much I really enjoyed your story, I will read more around your website - thanks - Beryl |

| Comments: | My wife and I came across this beautiful sculpture by accident one day when we were looking for the grave of a dear friend of ours in Mt.Macedon Cemetery. We couldn't believe what we were looking at, she is beautiful. Naturally we took some photographs to forward to our family and friends overseas, everyone asked the same question, "is this for real". |

| Comments: | I met you and your beautiful wife? companion? in cararra at chez nicoli studio as a young sculptor 25 years ago. You were carving "s he". You were so generous with your time and friendship, inviting me home for a pasta dinner after visiting with you at the carving studio. I was a marble carver then, but have gone on to work in bronze (I see you have also some works in bronze)
I was so impressed by your lifestle and work and I think meeting you gave me a boost to continue to pursue the dream of a full time artist's life. Thankyou for that. I never imagined I would see your work again, or learn anything more about your life....but I thought of you often, and some how always had an image of your energy and enthusiasm indefatigably sculpting marble somewhere in the world. This internet world web of consciousness and images is fantastic...what a gift to see you again, your works, your energy, your matured vision. I do not know if our paths will cross again, but hello, my brief friend from many years ago...if you are ever in Shanghai, China for artexpo, give me a message on the web. I would like to talk sculpture and life, give you a meal and show you around |

| Comments: | state of the arts
by greg hoey art politics specifically related to perth, west australia but probably applicable elsewhere. "the state of the arts" by greg hoey. The visual arts fraternity that do most of the arts critiqueing at 'the western australian' specifically on the saturday morning pages of this newspaper have as retarded an idea of current visual arts as the limitations they have on the type of artists and exhibitions they would choose to confer upon with their high and mighty arts sensibilities and standards. Everso confined by the parameters and dictates governed by the fashion of the time as well the economic soothsayers they hold court to, it is demoralising to any visual artist not especially interested in the dictates of fashion ,or whatever laws of aesthetics that might be d'riguer at that particular point in time and right now within this country the visual arts coda seems to be that feminism is 'the light, the way and the great god almighty herself' And any so-called artist that chooses to not get caught up in all the moral politics is to be accorded pariah by these intellectual determinators for the good of the human eye, thereby forever suffering the indignity of being disqualified from the scope of such narrow yet high purveyers of art taste, a dismissal of work deemed unworthy, and damned through faint praise, or the complete by-passing of it altogether. I do feel that it is all well and good to incorporate politicised issues into art but only at the risk of turning ones work into propaganda, and reducing its visual component and availability to a wider audience. Hard as it is not to feel that in recent decades art in australia has become relegated to a minority elite at the expense of a serious dialogue and relevance for australian cultural values, especially when considered up against sport. For when the snob factor is done away with from the visual arts in this country ,so to will the fixation on 'sport at all costs' be made less omni-present and all consuming, whereby art may become valued not just as to cover over bare walls or as hit for charisma junkies , but it might finally be taken seriously, and in the doing a serious more intelligent culture well may emerge into being. Not a culture I should stress that is to be over socialised, nor driven by paranoid excessives of appearance and thought policing. But a culture with an appearance to it possibly of symbiosis to classical ancient greece. Not necessarily the self-same people that we today would identify as being of grecian stock when contrasted with greek historical ancedents from 2500 yrs ago when greece was at its height in terms of civilizational/cultural achievements. So it seems that in Perth, western australia an artist is caught up between the trendy philistines whom only value art as decoration , or the self-styled evangelists like those writing in the arts pages of 'the west australian', that see art purely in terms of an espousal of left-wing bleeding heart logic/sentiment or superior moral views. A rock and a hard place. Bad. Bad for the practitioners of the arts whom have little real alternatives--[unless they are the already ensconsed, ie politically very pliant usually marked by adopting typically the stance of the whatever sphere of politics is conducive to their success at the time, playing the irreverent easygoing laconical aussie with the demeanor of cultural ingenue' sub-versive one minute to maybe the multi-cultural loving redneck the next, but generally marked with having well established familial connections preferably with non-working class decidedly bougousie antcedents]- , except for the likes of those intellectual connoiseurs in the high income bracket range that dominate court in places like the W.A. ART Gallery, P.I.C.A. and other publicly run institutions, and yes as well Perths only major daily. The full gamut of sensibilities whom want to claim art culture for their own moralistic ends all the while scraping a nice and pretty penny for themselves as our art guides or guardians. As a local and productive western australian arts practitioner if one was to go to the director of the our most funded and hallowed public arts institution[the W.A. art gallery] and ask nicely if one could per chance put on an exhibition there-in? You won't get told to fuck-off directly, they'll do it via a nicely worded letter telling you how their large and imposing art institution is only for large and important art shows and artists from elsewhere , more often than not as an exercise in multi-cultural globalist propaganda. Essentially one is made to feel its all a little about self-preservation for and by elites who's main aim is to entrench themselves and their peers into the system for now and forever, amen. And when an individual or group puts time and unpaid effort into their work only to be devalued, blacklisted indeed excised through lacking a moral basis or through political bias, not intelligence, maturity, skill, this instills within such people a predilection for redress. It can however be hard not to acquaint the rampant hetero-phobic and trenchant pseudo-feminisation of our arts institutions and the intellectual community within this country in general, -along with the state of our nation being still unable to disolve itself from a monarchical system 13,000 kms away [and just as distant in the realms of time itself ] and our countries unholy servant/master position to anglo-american corporations, whom seem to have relegated this country into a mindless beach community with at its backyard a vast quarry pillaged for its resources and eventually recharged and brought back into the country 20-30 times more expensive than when exported. For those of us persuaded by the excesses of paranoia and all the associated conspiritorial-like overtones that go along with, it can at times be hard not to agree with them that the situation within this country that we are faced with, is all, well a little Machiavellian . A country that at its heart is constructed for a shareholding rich who's real loyalty lies elsewhere and not upon these fatal shores, alas. written 1/7/2000 |

He had told us all about you and your fantastic work and after checking out the web sight I very much agree with him. I congratulate you on your success and your beautiful work...I especially love Madonna & Child...breathtaking. We wish you health and happiness and may we all salute a good friend on the 25th, Laurie Matheson. Regards Dianne & Terry Graham |

| Comments: | Dear Peter,
I am a Parsi Zoroastrian from Mumbai, India and came to know of your portrayal of Zarathustra only from a friend in Australia. While I was obviously offended with the "nude" portrayal of my Prophet, I do accept that you intended to only perpetuate the sculpture as a form of art without any malafide or offence; I therefore on behalf of the Parsi community do accept your apology for the unintended "error". I think that you are a great sculptor and I am in awe of the masterpieces made by you and seen on your website. Must say that you have become world-famous as there are only about 100,000 Parsis left in the world, but scattered all over the globe. Surely, the Parsi outcry must have reached the far corners of the world and now that you have apologised and taken off the name of our Prophet from the sculpture, you will surely have quite a few Parsis interested in your art. I loved the carrara marble displayed on your website. All the best. Rustom Dadabhoy |

I think this is an excellent site on William Barak, and this site needs to be commended.

| Comments: | Dear Peter & Cinzia,
how wonderful it was to meet you both today with Danielle O'Leary and the Yr 8 Kostka Hall boys. I feel very blessed when I'm able to meet people who, like myself, are able and choose to follow and work in something that is a passion-- mine through education and yours through your art, i suppose, it's really all one and the same in many ways-- the expression different. I just wanted to touch many of your bronze, marble and copper pieces because there was so much energy, life and and depth to them. I am a hands on person anyway, but the sensation was as powerful and the vision-- so thank you. I am taking Long-Service leave next year ( a year at half pay) and so intend to do lots of 'other' things that i may have felt I didn't have time for-- and one of them is the trip to myself for my 40th to Venice for a month or so Aug-Sep 2005-- just to be there and absorb culture, art and history, and so off to language classes this semester to learn Italian. Thank you Cinzia for the offer to tag into any contacts-- and as it's a way off, plenty of time to keep meeting passionate people. It was great and thanks for the coffee. Ciao. Fiona |

Sorry we didn't get the chance to catch up and say g'day at the reunion last year. I was totally "struck in awe" about catching up with EVERYONE that I hadn't seen in over 30 years. I was curious about your career and punched the name into Google. VERY impressive Old Son. Judd for the Defence |

If you are interested in having your work reproduced in porcelain I have developed a process where I utilize a rubber mold to cast from. I am able to get 100% of the original detail along with deep undercuts. This has never been possible before. Feel free to contact me if this should be of interest to you and I will send you more information along with images of pieces I have produced. Regards George Engel |

After trying my hand at it I find it difficult to imagine how you even go about carving such large pieces as you do. Keep up your incredible work. Kind regards Mike |

I am struggling with the transition of studing sculpture and sell it. If you have any words of advice or if I could meet with you and discuss sculpture it would help guide me on the next step. I also wanted to commend you for your work. I rarely find any figurative sculptor with any talent( most are terribly lost, fumbling around and killing the title sculptor) and was most plesantly surprised by the elequence of your work. I'm not yet in marble but that is my goal.

| Comments: | A reflection; the result of visiting your studio/home only two days ago.
Touch the marble sculpture with ones hand. Feel the smoothness. Feel the curves. So real, yet is not. The coldness that is transferred from the marble to your hand brings you back to reality. It is not a human being. It is a block of marble. But the moment that you are transcended to the illusion that the marble was a real human will be etched in your mind. Hopefully you do not lose your memory because this would be one to treasure. Photographs are taken. Click flash, click click. Shake the head. Photos will be no valid substitution. Look at the photo of the work; the urge to touch is so strong. No reproduction of the real thing will have such an impression one’s mind. Be there, feel the passion. Thank the talented creator in person. Exiting the studio home, the students leave with such inspiration in their souls. Those with paint substituting for blood may have the urge get a transfusion to have marble flowing now. Their minds have been revealed to the art of Mr Peter Schipperheyn. |

| Comments: | Hello Peter,
So nice to see your fantastic website. My organization, Northwest Stone Sculptors Association, (www.nwssa.org), has a link to yours. You probably do not remember me, s we met briefly October 1989 in Carrara. I was staying with Claire McArdle and working at Nicoli's also. I was living in Seattle, WA. at the time, and working in medicine. I have since retired early at age 55, and moved to Burbank, CA. Have you been in touch with Claire? I have emailed her and have no response. NWSSA has excellent symposiums every year. I was instrumental in getting these started in 1987, and continue to be in charge of the educational programs for our largest event in July each year. I wonder if you would be interested in teaching at one of our symposiums. They are unlike the European model, rather educational, community building for sculptors, and loaded with technical and friendly support. I wish you well, wherever you are. It would be great to see you again. Do you have any plans to come to the USA, or the Los Angeles area? God Bless..........Vic Picou |

I thoroughly enjoyed viewing your marble works. The human body is certainly something to express eloquently in marble. I began sculpting 15 years ago (in my early 40's) and finally had the opportunity to work with a piece of Carrara marble. I spent a few weeks last summer in Italy carving. What a wonderful experience. Do you ever show in the states? I'd love to see some of your work up close. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy and prosperous new year. |

| Comments: | Dear Peter, My husband, Tim, and I have been trying to
find an old friend, Robert Milhollin, for a number of years. We went to the Web and found your name and Dreambook as a possible contact. We believe that you are Rob's friend and mentor from Pietra de Santo. We knew and loved him for years in Ft. Bragg, CA. If you can give us any information on his whereabouts, we would be very grateful. Sincerely, Natalie Ranker |

carving for about eight yeard. I do primarily abstract works, and a few figurative works in marble and granite. I love your work, and enjoyed your website very, very much. I do not yet have a website, but hope to have one soon. Thanks for letting me view your magnificent works and read about carerra - Thanks again |

| Comments: | Peter, love the work, and website! I don't get much
opportunity to use marble but enjoy it when I do. Look at much 19th century? What are your influences? My site is new, and hope to build something as comprehensive as yours. I just don't know much about this web stuff. Some of my colleages are from Carrara and Milan. I'd tell them about your site but none of them own computers, old school, you know. They don't even use the phone much. G'day mate, Jerry |

| Comments: | Your work is beautiful. I am a stone carver also and have
rarely seen work that appeals to me as much as yours does. Thank you. Your web page is wonderfully done! I spent the winter of 1987-1988 in Pietra Santa, and would love to go back. The closest thing I've found to the community of sculptors is with the North West Stone Carvers Association (US), but there's nothing like Michelangelo's stomping grounds. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Blessings, Marla |

| Comments: | I think the idea of building a large monument of King Barak
in Melbourne is great. Aboriginal heritage and culture is found fascinating by many people from across the world. This statue would help to show a great sign of racial significance which Aboriginal people have throughout this beautiful country, and add to my pride of serving for it in the Royal Australian Navy. |
