PEGGY KING
I spent my childhood in Ohio, and my years raising a family and building a career on the Northeast Coast of Florida. After retiring from commercial real estate, my husband and I spent 5 years cruising on a motor yacht, exploring inland rivers as far north as Nova Scotia and heading south offshore to the islands of Trinidad. When the time came to return to land living, we were drawn to the hills by memories of the Smokey Mountains. We found our peaceful bit of forest in the Appalachian Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. I walked onto the property and simply knew it would be the place where I would start painting. After taking up residence in 2014, I picked up a paint brush for the very first time in my life. Now, I simply want to paint everyday - I get lost in it, and the inner peace I find there is my spirituality.
