"I always knew I would be an artist when I grew up. I always loved to draw and I chose art as my major when I went to college, but I didn't discover the magic of watercolor till I took an evening class when my family was young. It took me another twenty years to begin painting seriously. Now I can paint every day and share my love of the world and its beauty with others beyond my family and friends.

I paint with watercolor because I am fascinated by the way pigment and water react on the paper. I love to see the colors create themselves as they flow into one another. I love to see my subject come alive and I love to see their response when people see and feel the joy and life of color and light. I hope that is what my paintings convey and I hope that's what you will feel as well."

Peg Ginsberg studied art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and at Layton School of Art and Design in Milwaukee. Three of her works may be found in the collection of University Hospital and Clinics in Madison, Wisconsin as well as private collections across the country. Her paintings have appeared on the covers of Madison advertising magazine Dollars & Sense a total of sixteen times as of August 2006.

She is currently teaching classes "Watercolor All Levels" for MATC ACE Program (adult and continuing Educaton) and private classes at various locations around town depending on interest and availability. She exhibits regularly with the Madison Watercolor Society and at the UW Hospital.

Peg will do ongoing demonstrations of drawing and painting techniques, with examples in various stages of completion, throughout the weekend.

STUDIO ACCESS: Entrance to the studio area is around the side on the ground floor with one step up.
