Two potted fig plants with green and red-tinted leaves stand against a muted gray-blue background. Stripes and polka dots add a touch of whimsy and cheerfulness. The scene reflects artist Peg Belcastro's garden.
About the Artist
Artist Peg Belcastro paints vibrant narratives in her colorful and energetic compositions, inspired by the wooded acres and lush gardens of her rural Pennsylvania home. Living in Alaska for ten years deeply influenced her artistic approach. "The people who live there have a particular way of thinking which is essential for surviving in the far north. It's the attitude of courage to be true to yourself, to honor your passions, and to live life to the fullest—no matter what anyone else thinks," says Peg. She knew from a young age she would follow a path in the arts and sold her first painting at age fifteen. However, it was only after retiring from a career in real estate, which included designing and building homes, that she dedicated her time to artistic exploration in her painting studio—a stand-alone structure across their driveway built by her homebuilder husband, which she calls her happy place. When she's not making art, she finds joy in cooking with homegrown produce, playing the African marimba with an all-woman band called Mazimba, and meeting artist friends over lunch to talk about art.

"This painting was created in one fast sitting, with furious yet thoughtful brushstrokes," explains Rachel. "The acrylic paint ranges from thick impasto a thin watercolor-like veil." Part of Rachel's signature cubist coffee series. For these pieces, she studies her extensive collection of cafetieres that she keeps in her studio. The works are both about celebrating her love of coffee, and depicting light, pattern, and repetition as though it were set to music.
About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. "My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer," she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.
