Art Opening and Show

Spirits of Life: 

Portraits from the Art of Living 

The bright colors and bold designs of artist Peg Green will be on display December 5, 5-7 pm at The Women's Resource of Sarasota, 340 S Tuttle Ave, Sarasota. 941-366-1700. The public is invited and refreshments will be served. Peg's art is a suite of visual stories and portraits that express the artist's powerful immersion in the act of living. Her subjects range from the playful aspects of life to the more serious - depictions of gratitude, protective ferocity, life-giving energy and deep questions about personal values - even love.  The show extends through January 30, 2014 and can be seen most weekdays after 10:30am.   

Peg's artwork interweaves spiritual and sensual qualities. Using nature and personal experience as her primary sources of inspiration, she also draws on archetypes and symbols from cultures around the world, as well as feminist and shamanic sources. Her current work is strongly influenced by her recent three-year study of Intuitive Painting, following the teachings of Michele Cassou. 

Peg studied her craft at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cuyahoga Community College, the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Va., the Hudson River Valley Art Studio in Greenville, NY and at Milford Art Studio in Kejimkujik, Nova Scotia. Her work has been exhibited at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Reston, VA, the Invitational Quilt Show in Manassas, VA, the Franklin Park Arts Center in Purcellville, VA., and All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Colorado Springs, CO.
