Texas artist, Peggy Byars, has been a professional artist
since 1976. She feels that a work of art should involve the total person.
One should sense the smells, feel the warmth of the sun, enjoy the fresh
air and cold water hear the wildlife. Peggy's illumination technique,
or glow, is the trademark of all her work, giving her paintings a refreshing
aliveness and sense of being there.
Ms. Byars has studied with Cowboy Artists of America Museum in Kerrville:
Harvey Johnson, Melvin Warren, Gary Carter, James Boren and Ken Riley.
Add to the list, the Texas School of Fine Arts: Charles Normann, Francis
Woodworth; J.U. Salvant's School of Fine Arts - Victor Armstrong, and
the Texas Landscape Workshop - Bob Wygant. She has also studied under
one of her favorite artists Paul Strisik, A.N.A, A.W.S., N.A.W.A., in
Scottsdale, Arizona.
