Peggy Turchette

I have been an artist all my life and have always loved making things with my hands. I grew up in Boston MA and attended the New England School of Art & Design. After graduating I worked as a freelance illustrator, supplementing my art income with a “day job” walking dogs, something I still do today. In 2003 I moved both businesses to Boulder CO to be near family and to study at the School of Botanical Art & Illustration at the Denver Botanic Gardens. I completed the program in 2007 and thereafter focused my studio work on botanical illustration.
