As a youth, she spent most of her time taking care of livestock, tending to the chores common to ranch life and drawing rough sketches of her surroundings. Later, she taught Advanced Placement art to high school students. Peggy now lives and creates art in Questa, NM. Her work is shown at La Mesa Gallery in Santa Fe and Wilder Nightingales Gallery in Taos and the Weyrich Gallery in Albuquerque. Peggy also has five pieces in Public Arts locations throughout New Mexico and Japan.
Artist Statement
The artist uses a palette of colors that are striking in their originality and strength. The fluid brush strokes add a subtle texture and energy to the surface. The rendering is somewhat impressionistic and often inspired by the subject matter. The artist is able to use her technical mastery to produce work that makes a strong first impression yet gradually reveals the depth of her love for the landscape she inhibits. Peggy works in both oils and acrylics.
