About the Artist
Peggy Knutson studied art at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, for 2 years. She was subsequently accepted at the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Life events, however, put her career on a different track. Now, retired, she has returned to her first loves, drawing and painting.
About the Art
Peggy Knutson’s current series is “Modern Iconography”. Each painting starts literally and figuratively with a prayer. A prayer is written on the foundation coat of each canvas and then layers of paint are applied. The paintings reflect her Catholic faith and veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
