Welcome to Althea Peregrine, singular silk painting

Location:

Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

About Me:

I've felt the need make art since I was a child. I began taking classes in the teen program at The Chicago Art Institute and was awarded a degree from the University of Minnesota in studio art and art history.

My art is drawn from dreams, travel and reading. I find the process of making art simultaneously meditative and spontaneous: touch the paintbrush to silk and watch the color flow; move the images around the collage, draw in details, and the meaning becomes clearer. One piece inspires the next.

My work takes form in mixed media collages, assemblages, and paintings on silk and canvas. I'm always seeking to wed a personal iconography with themes from history. You can see a non-sales gallery of my work at altheaperegrine.com. Sales galleries are at AltheaP.etsy.com and trunklt.org/AltheaP
