About Peggy

Apart from a 10-week course of art instruction at John Herron Art Institute (Indianapolis, Indiana) at the age of 13, Peggy Steup has had no formal art training (mostly because her mother would not have paid for such an impractical degree).  She settled instead on a science career and family-hood.  In later years, having run out of science jobs, children to raise and wall mural space, she embarked on a rediscovered art career.  Peggy has studied under a variety of instructors, including Steve Parker, Polly Liu, and Laura Spector, and has exhibited work with Art League Houston and Lake Houston Area Artists.

Peggy Steup enjoys painting a variety of subjects – landscapes, portraits, still lifes – but particularly likes to find the unusual (or potentially unusual) in everyday scenes.  If she doesn’t find it there to begin with, she will add it.
