“At some time in a true artist’s life – perhaps as a child – the awareness dawns of the wonderful power of a fine painting and how it can be achieved, in the hands of a talented or insightful person, with mere tubes of colour and a brush.” ~ Peter Ewart

Mr. Peter Ewart (1918-2001) was a distinguished and internationally renowned artist whose work often focused on the Canadian landscape. Mr. Ewart lived and worked in Langley for many years. It is noteworthy that this is the first Langley school to be named for an accomplished artist and the Langley School Board believes Mr. Ewart’s contributions to the arts and dedication to education will serve well as inspiration for the students and staff of Peter Ewart Middle School.
