Heather Pegg
Heather Pegg studied at Georgian College of Applied Arts and Technology graduating with a diploma in Design Arts-Graphic Design in June 1988. Heather continued her education at the University of British Columbia graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in May 1992. Following her graduation, Heather had a successful career working with York Region Social Services from 1992 to 2007. During her career with York Region Heather completed the Human Resource Certificate program at Seneca College.
In the fall of 2007, Heather had the opportunity to further her education and develop her artistic abilities at Art Works Art School. With instruction from Marija Barac-Jandric and more recently Nada S. Raffay, Heather has been able to develop her individual painting technique and style using acrylic paint on board. Heather’s paintings are inspired by events in her life which affect how she sees and interprets her surroundings. Heather uses the areas around her home in Bloor West Village, her cottage in Haliburton and scenes from other travels to create paintings and invite the viewer into her world. In the fall of 2010, Heather expanded her painting studies to include Figure Drawing and Painting. Heather strives to capture not only the external human form but also the essence of the individual with the desire to inspire an emotional connection between the image and the viewer.
