Peggi is an award winning artist who was trained at Arizona State University and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Peggi worked as a fashion and advertising illustrator before making the transition into fine art. Using intense color and value to accentuate her subject, she has a bold palette, a love for small paintings and a very loose style that achieves a lot with a few very energetic brush strokes. She prefers to suggest reality than render it.  Peggi received the 2001 “Best in Show” award at the 3rd Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational.
