Biographical Statement

Like many artists, Pegi has traveled a lot, learning her craft and expanding her artistic horizona. Born in the midwest, she moved to California, then on to Colorado, where she has made her home sinced 1980. Working the mining towns, then collede towns, she developed a love and a talent for china painting, a "lifelong passion," she says.

Turning Fifty has inspired me as an artist to worry less about being famous, and more content working at my art and the process,. which in turn, causes tranquility and peace in my life. By aging I have gained wisdom. And with wisdom comes power. I may not be able to change the world, but I believe working artists can influence the world by example. I also believe that as artists it is our duty to create an emotion, to make people think, and to inspire. By using Art Forms of color, movement, and balance in all of different types of mediums I use I have communicated an emotion of serenity. The subject matter is in my mind’s eye. It is a place I can go to recharge my energy, to relax, and find peacefulness.
