John Swinburne Peers (American, 1922-2009) was primarily known for his clown portraits. He lived and worked in San Francisco, CA, out of a house garage turned studio on 27th Avenue near Balboa Street. His garage window had a hand-painted sign "Paintings By Peers". He would also sell his paintings on the streets near Candlestick Park.
