Peggi Kroll Roberts
Award winning
artist, Peggi Kroll-Roberts, was trained at Arizona State University
and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Peggi worked as
a fashion and advertising illustrator before making the transition
into fine art. Using intense color and value to accentuate her
subject, she moved into fine art with a bold palette, a love for small
paintings and a very loose style that achieves a lot with a few very
energetic brush strokes. She prefers to suggest reality than render
it. Inspired by her children she paints beach scenes and other aspects of
their lives. She also breaks away from the conventional still life by
painting scenes of cosmetics and the occasional coffee cup or slab of
butter. Peggi's work gives us a new appreciation of our own daily
life.
