About the author: Pegi Smith (Peggy Smith) paints in acrylics on canvas from her home studio in the mountains near Ashland, Oregon. It’s not often that one finds an artist who paints from her dreams, yet Pegi’s visionary style distinguishes her paintings from all others, immersing the viewer in her personal—and very compelling— dream world. From these dreams, Pegi paints abstracts from equine art to nudes to nature, using rich colors to evoke emotion and to uplift the viewer. She is a self-taught artist, and therefore uses her paints in an innovative manner exclusive to herself. Her use of color, which changes with each collection, also makes her work perfect for nearly any interior decor scheme. Pegi’s thoughtful approach to her art and unique nuance with her brush have gained her a devoted following, with collectors vying for new paintings as they are unveiled. See her work and make contact with the artist by visiting Pegi's listing at SOAR for links to her website and more!  Medford Sneak Preview Poll In a recent Medford Sneak Preview poll, their readers named me their Favorite Local Artist in the February 2017 issue! I am so grateful to receive this kind of recognition from local art enthusiasts. I’m in good company… Continue reading Medford Sneak Preview Poll – Pegi Smith is Favorite Local Artist By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 1954 contributed posts

About the author:  February 2017 at Art du Jour Gallery Discover Doug Wallace’s Eclectic Realm of Byzantine Queens and Mythical Maidens February 2017 at Art du Jour Gallery finds us excited to present a radically different artistic vision by guest artist Doug Wallace in the Salon. Doug, who spent two decades in Hollywood as an actor and screen writer, has been an artist since childhood. In his own words, “Looking back down the tunnel of time, scrolling through the historical archives of what has interested me artistically for most of my life, I always find a bit of the fantastic in all that I do…and nothing is ever completely realistic.” Doug applies the same philosophy to his storytelling and his visual art. “In essence, I like to have one foot based in reality, while springing off the other to soar to the stars and create something that never was, be Continue reading February 2017 at Art du Jour Gallery By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 1954 contributed posts
