Born to be an Artist Peggy Judy says she was born to be an artist. So smitten by the natural beauty of her native Colorado, she painted and drew throughout her high school and college years. After graduating from Colorado State University in 1982 with a Bachleor of Fine Arts and a concentration in illustration, she began her professional career as an illustrator. In 1988, she married an equine vet, which she says allowed her to meld her two passions: art and horses. Peggy’s work has been categorized as Contemporary Western. Drawing and draftsmanship is the skeleton of her work, she says, but the color, shapes, and lines take the subject beyond the usual. For her, negative space is as important to the balance of each piece as the positive space. She’s won numerous painting awards and has been included in a variety of exhibitions, including at The Rockwell Museum of Western Art in New York.
