About the author: I begin my watercolor paintings with an idea and a drawing. I build the painting layer by layer, drawing lines and shapes, looking for rhythm and feeling. My color sense is a reflection of my childhood in New Mexico fused with colors of my home in the Northwest. My goal is to go beyond the surface to find joy, wonder and a bit of mystery. I have shown my works in galleries, juried, group and solo shows in Washington, Oregon, Montana and New Mexico. My paintings are in private collections in the west, New York and Norway.To view examples of Peggy's work or to make contact with the artist, please visit her listing at the Southern Oregon Artists Resource.Hello!

I rarely talk about it because it feels like a rejection and calls for a private moment. I find it easier to talk about the times I do get in.

I live in a small town in southern Oregon. The town is surrounded by farms, fields, vineyards and orchards. Some of these agricultural hots spots have goats.
