Collection: Magaret Skiles

Art has always been a part of Maragret's (Peggy) life though in very different ways and in very different amounts. Retirement has provided her with more time to pursue her artistic goals. Although being a skilled photographer about six years ago, she discovered oil painting and has pursued this medium through a variety of workshops and classes, most recently an intensive workshop in Florence Italy at the Florence Academy of Art. Her work has been included in shows in multiple local venues including the Crocker Museum, the Sparrow Gallery and now here at The Artery.
