Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Peter Kostoulakos is a painter, teacher and conservator of art and is also an appraiser, specializing in 19th and early 20th century American painters who, like himself, painted in classical and traditional styles. He is a fine art consultant to small museums, art and historical societies, and private collectors. Kostoulakos had a teaching position with Greater Lawrence Technical School (1978-2008) as a Graphic Communications Technology Teacher. In this capacity, he taught marketing, advertising, art appreciation, art history, etc.
He was raised in Lowell and went through the Lowell school system. From the time he was young, he wanted to be an artist. After high school, he enrolled in the Art Institute of Boston and received a diploma in Advertising Design. He then went to Northeastern University in Boston and received a BS in Fine Art.
Following the earning of this degree, he went to Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont, and received an MA in Fine Art with a thesis titled "A Comprehensive Study of Current Conservation and Restoration Techniques with Relation to American Painting before 1911."
In 1994, he was awarded an Honorary Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Boston. He was married for ten years and then divorced. In 1976, in addition to continuing his own painting career, he began restoring paintings and, to date, has cleaned and restored over 3000 paintings. He has studied appraisal practices with the International Society of Appraisers (ISA) and became an accredited member.
He has written articles including "Preserving Paintings: Before and After, A Question of Responsibility," and "What To Look For When Buying Antique Paintings: A Behind the Scenes Look at Paintings." Other articles include "The History of Art Education, A Comparative Study," and "Ancestral Facelifting, An Introduction to the Conservator's Art," co-authored with Judith C. Campbell for Northlight Magazine
