Biography of Adrienne Peacock

Growing up on a farm in southern Ontario, I was encouraged to experiment with oils and watercolours. I began private instruction with Doolee McDonnell, a Kootenay artist, and have taken courses at Emily Carr University, Langara College, the Vancouver Academy of Art, the Dene Croft Studio and the Federation of Canadian Artists. Most recently, I was fortunate to study at a week long workshop with Robert Bateman. I am an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, and the Port Moody Art Association. I work primarily in acrylic and watercolours.

My art has evolved with experience. I have always been interested in trying to represent the magic of this magnificent planet we live on - mountains, streams and other wild places, and the many ways that people interact with these habitats and the urban environment. My challenge is to create a painting which captures the emotions, the passion, that I feel this beautiful planet deserves.
