Paige Matthews Peterson (born March 19, 1955, in Marin County, California) is an American artist, author and photojournalist who has written extensively about the Middle East. She is the former executive vice president to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.[2] She is the daughter-in-law of billionaire and former US Secretary of Commerce Peter George Peterson. She now lives and works in New York City, California and East Hampton, Long Island. Paige Peterson is a contributing writer and photojournalist for Marin Magazine, New York Social Diary and the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations.[3]
In 2006, she co-authored with Christopher Cerf and illustrated the best-selling children's book Blackie, The Horse Who Stood Still, published by Rizzoli.[4] Peterson also illustrated Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, and Black Beauty, both edited by Jesse Kornbluth.[5] Peterson facilitated the editing, publishing and production of Jon M. Huntsman's book Barefoot to Billionaire: Reflections on a Life's Work and a Promise to Cure Cancer.

In July 2008 Peterson's paintings were featured in a one-woman show at the Spanierman Gallery in East Hampton, New York.[7] In March 2011 she had a show at the Gerald Peters Gallery in New York City. The show was curated by Peter Marcelle.
