Peterson's highly sought after work has been collected by celebrities such as hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs, Swizz Beatz, James Cruz, Fabolous; as well as athletes like Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Derrell Revis. In January 2017, Robert made Oklahoma history by becoming the first African American to ever receive the artist of the year award in Southwest Oklahoma for not only his amazing works of art, but also his passion for philanthropy and art education.
