PEGGY MORGAN AWS, NWS

If painting is all about the light, it follows that the dark is equally important. Peggy is drawn to scenes with strong light and strong shadows, and it is the interplay of the two that inspires her work. Always looking for the abstract design in natural and man-made things, Peggy’s paintings help people see their environment with new eyes.

In her paintings of industrial, mechanical, and electrical subjects, Peggy explores the themes of human interconnectedness, mankind’s creations versus Nature, and our dependence on the power grid. She finds beauty in the overlooked, mundane scenes found in large cities and small towns. Peggy also finds inspiration in the impermanence of ‘permanent’ human installations, such as buildings, statuary and mining equipment.

She was featured in an article in Watercolor magazine, and was chosen as one of the “Ones to Watch” in 2007 by Watercolor Magic. Her work has appeared in numerous national and international shows. She is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society, the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Society, and the Colorado Watercolor Society.


Painting full time for over 19 years, Peggy is an award-winning artist whose work has been influenced by Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, George Post, and others. She has taken workshops with Colorado artist Stephen Quiller, adopting his color theory to her own style. A move to Crested Butte in 2013 has provided endless inspiration in the natural beauty of the area.
