Peggy Judy: Contemporary Western Artist - Epi. 214, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Peggy Judy on the podcast today and she was just
delightful. I love this kind of story where you have someone
who's an artist, they're born with that special knack for art,
but because of the way things play out in life, they don't end up
getting into the fine art world right away. In Peggy's case, she
worked as an illustrator, sort of orbiting a world in which she'd
eventually be a fixture.

You see, Peggy got her BFA in illustration, but she put it on the
side and worked with horses, raised her family, and then after a
while she had the classic 'I should be making art' epiphany. She
sold her house and went all in and she's done extremely well as a
result. Peggy has been doing this now for about eight years and
she's currently represented by a slew of galleries. In fact, she
just had a major one-person show at a museum and she's going to
be exhibiting in our gallery at my upcoming Rodeo de Tucson show
in February. 

Actually, I was looking for artists for the aforementioned Rodeo
show when I stumbled across Peggy's art for the first time. I
didn't know who she was, but I immediately gravitated to what she
was doing and said: "Yeah, this person really has something."
Once you get her backstory you'll understand why I find her so
interesting. 

I think you'll enjoy this one. I know I did. Peggy Judy on Art
