Flinally decided to integrate the blog into my website. But you can find me here: peggyshearn.com/art-off-the-grid.

"HERE"

Another in my series of text paintings, this piece began with the word "here".

Here is a brief video to give you a sense of the surface:

THIS found a home

I've been asked if I'm sad to part with my paintings and my answer is always NO! Sending work out into the world to have its own life, to become a part of someone else's daily life is an honor (not a great way to support yourself, but an honor nonetheless). When the people who are drawn to a work seem thoughtful, intelligent and kind, it's that much better. A couple who had just moved to the area saw my painting "THIS" when it was hanging in the window at my shared studio/gallery space in Glencoe. They thought about it, asked about it, came back to see it and bought it. Here it is in their home:

Looking at THIS

I share studio space with other painters. 

The other day I looked up from my work to see my friend looking at my painting "THIS"-- 

she looked as though she were about to step right in...

What the public SEES...

Here is the painting "SEE" and the post-it note commentaries left next to my painting at the LEXICON show last June (http://bit.ly/2b96Tv8)
