Raised on the west coast of BC, and living in the Okanagan since 1989, Peggy has always been surrounded with stunning views and inspiration. Landscapes with strong lines and shadows pique her interest, but she has really found her passion through her love of birds.

Birds represent three things:

• Freedom through flight
• Joy through song
• Productiveness through foraging

"Placing personality and quirkiness into my flock has been a fun filled journey, and I hope the collection will bring a smile to your face as well"

Peggy works primarily with acrylic on stretched canvas, but enjoys a more recent journey of India Ink on paper.  She is proud to be the owner and sole operator of Picture This Custom Framing and Gallery in Penticton for over 20 years.  Not only does the work immerse her in a wide variety of fine art, it challenges her to be ever creative, and provides her with the opportunity to meet other artists on a daily basis.
