Tune in to this delightful episode featuring Peggy Sivert as she shares her Wisdom about Art, Nature, Horses and the Value of Authentic Exploration and Experimentation. In her art practice a great portion of Peggy's work — but not all — focuses on horses, which she describes as a bridge between man and nature.
Peggy’s art is generated out of the site of her home studio at Portuguese Bend in Rancho Palos Verdes, California where she has resided since 1996. Her practice has incorporated sculpture, mixed media, drawing, painting, and assemblage across figuration and abstraction. Peggy’s body of work utilizes equestrian and architectural motifs as embodiments of memory and lived experience.
Peggy has had regular exhibits at Art galleries throughout Los Angeles and internationally in South Korea, Thailand, and Japan. She has been founder, curator and director for several nonprofit art galleries in Los Angeles.
The artist also addresses the land movement upheaval where she lives. Her home is adjacent to a nature preserve that is part of an ancient landslide. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, it is a haven for nature and wildlife and a crisis of broken land. Her work often explores the dichotomy between the broken and the flourishing.
The breakdown is where she feels compelled to begin and explore.
