Peggy Duvall
Peggy paints what it feels like to garden…what it feels like to hike a trail.
She is a lifelong painter living in the Virginia countryside near enough to Washington DC to get an occasional “city fix”. Her architectural design background together with a deep connection to the rural Virginia landscape and all things floral have had an outsize contribution to who she is as an artist.
She appreciates watercolor and it’s unpredictable nature. Paint and paper are her partners as they interact, gently guiding her work in an organic way. She prefers to use thick cotton papers and natural pigments which significantly influence both her process and the outcome of her paintings.
Her paintings represents a constant give and take between nature and intellect. They exploit flaws and inconsistencies aspiring to beauty and control.
Her work has been shown regionally at The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, Long Branch House & Farm galleries, AIM gallery in Middleburg, Dwell Fine Art & Craft, Melissa Ichiuji Gallery, Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, VA and Art & Fiber Gallery in Blacksburg, VA. Her work is in homes across Virginia and the USA.
