Peggy
Talbot Wagner, a native of Elkins, attended Elkins public schools,
graduated form D & E in 1952 and received an MA in Public Affairs
from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, NY. Following her
retirement in 1995 from her career in public sector urban planning,
Peggy pursued her dream of working in watercolors, enrolling in the Art
League School in Alexandria, VA.
Now a professional artist and a juried member of one of the DC area’s
foremost societies, Potomac
Valley Watercolorists,
she exhibits
her watercolor
paintings in
juried
shows, her most recent ones being the Annual American Landscape Show at
the Art League Gallery in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria
and the Sixty-Eighth Annual International Exhibition of Fine Art
Miniatures at Strathmore Hall in Maryland.
At the November Fairfax Art League art show, Peggy’s painting At
Rest was selected for the “People’s Choice Award.”
In 1991 Peggy was recognized by Davis &
Elkins College with the Distinguished Alumni Award for her professional
work in planning and community development and her contributions to the
college. She now serves on
the Ross Chair Committee as part of the D & E Centennial
Campaign and
plans to
donate to the
Ross Chair
funds a
portion of
the proceeds
from any
paintings sold
at the Booth Library. |
