My name is Peggy and I am 40+ years old. I have 2 daughters, preschool and elementary school age. I am divorced and in a relationship. I have a BSW and practiced social work up until about 5 years ago when I stopped working due to personal health issues. I am very happy to be pusuing my first love as a second career (art). I began seriously studying art forms in high school and attended several art colleges and won awards and scholarships. However I went into social work later. I made several people quite disappointed that I didn't continue in art at that time! Let that be a lesson to those of you who are trying to ignore the call of your muse!!! It's never too late and I have gained a tremendous amount of healing from my work as an artist now.
I live on the edge of Lake Huron in Michigan. Nature inspires me daily. I love photography, jewelry making, beadwork, painting, crochet, sewing, art journaling, art for therapy and mixed media adventures. I would like to advocate for the advancement of art for healing work.
I just getting started to share myself and my work again and I have a blog and do facebook frequently. I am an avid ebayer and love the hunt for great free shipping deals on all things artsy. I am pushing myself to get out of the house and take my work seriously again. If I can be of encouragement to anybody, let's talk.
I call my home studio Eudaimonia, which I am still studying, that means happiness, loosely translated from Greek.
