Peggy Woods

The appreciation and the creation of art has always been an integral part of Peggy’s life from her earliest childhood days. Although professionally she became a registered nurse, she has experimented and created art throughout the years using many different mediums. She tries to capture a sense of the beauty surrounding us in our daily lives whether in people, animals, places or things.

Of recent interest to Peggy is the creation of Original Linoleum Cut Art Prints also known as linocuts. The majority of her originals are printed at the Museum of Printing History in Houston, Texas. After drawing and carving the image onto the block of linoleum, each piece is individually hand inked and pressed thereby accounting for variations from print to print.

It is especially gratifying for her when she can capture that special family farmhouse, animal or building for clients who want custom work created. The blocks that become the final "tool" of the printmaking process are sculptural things of beauty in themselves.
