Oprah Winfrey, American television host, actress, producer, and philanthropist recently visited LIK LAHAINA in Lahaina, Hawaii. After leaving, she made a personal phone call to Peter in which she told him, "I love your photography like Mother Nature loves you." She visited the gallery on July 17th, 2010, the same day that Peter's latest masterpiece "Imagine", made its worldwide debut at all 13 Lik Galleries.
To date, "Imagine," the third release of 2010 has been the most successful release of a Peter Lik piece. It quickly surpassed "Tree of Life," the record setting release of early 2010. Currently, over 25% of the edition has been sold including Artist Proof and Limited Edition prints.
The success of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" now on air for almost twenty-five years, has helped to launch the success of numerous products and personalities and we are honored to have her as a collector of Peter Lik Fine Art Photography. As well as hosting and appearing on television shows, Winfrey co-founded the women's cable television network Oxygen. She is also the president of Harpo Productions (Oprah spelled backwards.)
Celebrity Collectors of Peter Lik's work include Bill Clinton, Magic Johnson and Cindy Crawford to name a few.
Contact your local gallery for more information on becoming a collector or email sales@peterlik.com for details.

We are proud to announce that Peter has made photography history this year with NANPA! Winning several awards and featuring ‘Pele's Whisper' as the first wrap-around cover for the magazine, NANPA's Expressions 2010. Congratulations go out to Peter as we are pleased to present the press release for this prestigious and honourable accolade.
Peter Lik Earns NANPA Expressions First-Ever Wrap Cover
LAS VEGAS, NV, April 20, 2010-Internationally-acclaimed landscape photographer Peter Lik, was awarded a Top Ten prize from The North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) for his work, "Pele's Whisper." The moonlight shot of the Kilauea Volcano, on Kalapana, the Big Island of Hawaii, also received the distinction of being the first image to ever be featured as a wrap cover (front and back) for the association's annual Expressions publication. Lik collected NANPA awards for "Ocean Fire" (Top 100) and "Turning Time" (Top 250), in addition to "Pele's Whisper."
"Pele, the goddess of fire in Hawaiian folklore, is a volatile and at times vindictive goddess. Pele took pleasure in her power to both destroy the land and also create it. You can visualize her fair profile in the upper left. It's as if she is blowing, or whispering, into the ocean, causing the steam to part on the surface of the water below," said Peter Lik when asked to describe the scene.
Expressions is an annual publication that highlights the top 250 photographs from the NANPA Member Showcase competition, held each year. It displays the very best photographs selected from thousands of submissions by a jury panel of industry professionals.
Peter Lik is one of the world's most innovative, prolific, and awarded living artists. Renowned for his signature panoramic images and repertoire of limited editions, produced over a 25-year period, Peter has helped to define fine art photography. Peter Lik's photography is showcased in 13 galleries across the country, from Hawaii to New York, as well as in Australia. His images are owned by fine art collectors and a myriad of luminaries from around the globe.
Peter is the only recipient of the Master of Photography Award in both the U.S. and Australia. His published fine art books include Spirit of America, Maui: Hawaiian Paradise, Australia, Las Vegas and Beyond and his prized Peter Lik 25th Anniversary Book.
