Art has been a part
of Peggy's life
since she and her
grandmother
earned Christmas
money by selling
craft items when she
was five. Because
they only had radio,
she and her five
brothers and sisters
would spend evenings
drawing or painting
while listening
to shows. In high
school she took
art for all four
years and was
fortunate
to have
excellent
teachers. She won
the school award for
fine art at graduation.
In the summer of
2004 she traveled to
Taos, New Mexico to
attend a workshop
with Jerry Brommer.
She continues to
paint
at the Senior Center
in
Santa Clarita, as well as at
home. She knows
her work is
improving and
has won a Silver and
a Merit award for
watercolor at the
Santa Clarita
Artists'
Association's Art
Classic.
She recently began
oil painting again
and working with
acrylics. As a member
of the Santa Clarita
Artists' Association
she met and admired
many
local artists who
inspired her to take
chances with her
art. Life would not
be
as rich without the
chance to express
herself through
creating art.
