Peg Quinn was raised in rural Nebraska and has lived her so-called adult life in Santa Barbara, California. Viva la difference!
She is a poet, mural painter, award-winning quilter, mixed-media artist, and has twice been nominated for the Pushcart Prize (2010 & '12). Peg works as Art Specialist at a private elementary school. She is smitten by the creative process and views the arts as society's salvation. Her son is an actor and her daughter composes music. One lucky ride.
Recently, Peg was interviewed by host/producer David Starkey on the Santa Barbara cable program, Creative Community. Here is the video Link. We loved her closing advice to all artists, "Go deep and don't be afraid to be happy."
