W. Beatty, Fred Haines and Arthur Lismer. Beginning in the 1920’s Stoyan travelled quite extensively and exhibited both his landscapes and city views during this time. The Ontario Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy both began to include his works in their exhibitions from 1925. Around 1930, Peter Stoyan visited New York City. He exhibited there for several years and worked mainly as an illustrator. His work from this early period is signed either, 'Stoyanoff' (his real name) or 'Stoin'.

He remained there for most of his career, with the exception that he both lived and worked in the western provinces of Alberta and British Columbia during the 1950's and early 1960's. Peter Stoyan was a regular exhibitor with the O.S.A. (Ontario Society of Artists) and an Associate of the Ontario College of Art (A.O.C.A.).
