Muse

oils, charcoal, 12"x12", 2025, $900

A verb and a noun! And a man who's been by my side for over 40 years, my husband, David Peacey.

My goal has always been to create paintings that have an expressive realism, full of color. The subjects can be the pleasing image in a still life, abstracted figures expressing a feeling or in the likeness of a large portrait.
I accept portrait and other commissions.

Around 1980, I've was a member of Heart to Art, a group of Seattle artists, creating art projects with AIDS patients and caregivers. We also held an annual art auction to raise funds for emerging AIDS services organizations around the state of Washington. In the 1990's, I initiated an art program for LGBTQ youth at a drop-in center. 1998-2014, I had studios in Pioneer Square in the fabled 619 Western Building and a space that I ran as Alchemy Gallery, showing local artists on First Thursdays and held life drawing sessions for 8 years.
