Artist Index >> Corthouts
“Each individual, personal place I have experienced through my life and travels, are etched in my mind or recorded in my photographs. It is in painting these memories that I receive the greatest satisfaction. Through painting, I am able to add the emotion, spark or serenity of the moment that a photograph could never express.”
Peggy Corthouts was born in 1959 in Coventry, Connecticut. In 1983, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in printmaking, from Arizona State University. Ms. Corthouts also studied with Wayne Kimball, master printer at the famed, Tamarind Atelier.
For the last seven years Corthouts has been published exclusively by the Winn Art Group doing poster, lithographs, and serigraphs and selling original monoprints.
Among fine art printers, Corthouts is known as a printmaker of remarkable skill and sensitivity.
More recently, she has concentrated on her own work, which is receiving considerable attention in the art field. Masterfully executed, her beautiful landscapes are contemporary; yet possess a softness and quality of light reminiscent of the Impressionistic Period.
Corthouts’ works have been exhibited throughout the United States in various galleries and are featured in the collections of the Markland Corporation, National Medical Enterprises, Piedmont Airlines, the John C. Lincoln Hospital and many other corporate and private collections.
