Painted from a
life well loved

Original oil paintings by Peggy — rainy squares and orange umbrellas, Mediterranean sunsets, wildflower meadows and the first good snow. Every canvas here is real, painted by her hand, and most of them come with a story about family.

About the artist

Meet Peggy

Peggy is, first and always, a maker. She paints the way most people breathe — often, quietly, and with her whole self. Born and rooted in Michigan, she draws from the woods, the water, the seasons, and most of all, the people she loves.

Ask her about a painting and you’ll probably end up hearing about her family first — her two wonderful sons, and her gorgeous daughter-in-law, Dazzmin. That’s not a detour. That’s the art.

The lakes, the light, the seasons — and the places she’s loved, from the Mitten to Montmartre — it all ends up on the canvas.

Made with love in Michigan.

Say hello

Kind notes always welcome

If one of these paintings made you smile, Peggy would love to hear about it.
