Peg has exhibited widely, including the Royal Academy, the RWA, the Mall Galleries, the RBSA where she was awarded a prize for her etching, the Woolwich Print Fair and in many group exhibitions. Her work is held in the Printmakers Council Archive at the Scarborough Museum and Art Gallery and is in the V&A archive. She taught in schools in London for 25 years and then taught etching at Kew Studio where she managed the Print Studio from 2016 – 2025.
Process is fundamental to how Peg works. Although she specialises in etching, she explores different processes and makes mezzotints, lithographs, collagraphs, Tetrapak prints and monotypes. Her work is rooted in observation and drawing underpins all the images she makes. She also makes paintings, usually in watercolour.
Since her move to the Surrey Hills in 2021 after 30 years in London, the ancient trees and trackways of that landscape have proved a rich source of inspiration. She walks daily and revisits the same locations in different conditions, forming deep personal connections with her surroundings through observation and quiet contemplation. This exhibition features work from before and after this move, revealing the shift in focus of her work from Town to Country.
