Peg Kivi is interested in the evocative blending of rich colour and the subtle incorporation of repetition and texture. Her watercolours are loose, subtle and atmospheric, her acrylics are layered, rich and textural. Peg Kivi’s work has developed over the past forty years from drawing and etching to watercolours and most recently to acrylic painting on canvas. Her style has developed from realism to colour drenched abstraction. Her paintings are created by layering combinations of rich colour and texture. Dark velvety tones with subterranean fields of colour create a soothing visual experience for the viewer.

"Painting and drawing have always been the cornerstones of my creative development. Many years as a secondary school art teacher along with my participation in many courses by noteworthy artists and my active involvement in the arts community have encouraged me to experiment in many different media. My formal education and experiences over the past forty years have resulted in the knowledge and skill level I now enjoy. The creative process provides me with a sense of personal rejuvenation."
