Profile: Peggy Pimpler

I have been a full time artist since 1991, during this time my art has changed and evolved greatly. I have always been intrigued by discarded objects, either natural or man-made. My joy comes from giving them new life in my artwork. The associative power of these familiar things has become my favorite artist too.

Sometimes I begin a piece with a concept but other times it's as if the bits and pieces have a voice of their own. At these times I have no idea what the finished piece will have to say. I allow the objects to speak to the viewers personal memories. There are times when those pieces have more than a visual voice that wants to be heard, when that takes place I transcribe these details and include them in the piece. It's a very exciting way to work.
