Artist Comments
A stand of trees stretches across the center of a vast field. Their foliage glows with brilliant autumn colors. Tall grass spreads in the foreground while soft clouds hover above. Shallow puddles catch and reflect the sky's soothing hues. The scene exudes stillness and joy.

About the Artist
Artist George Peebles paints vibrant landscapes that often feature sweeping skies, fields, and woodlands. "My art is a reflection of the place inside each of us where we connect to nature," says George. He earned his BA from Kendall College of Art and Design and views his practice as a lifelong learning process. George began his career painting abstracts, later shifting to abstract realism with interpretations of Michigan’s seasonal changes. Born with red/green colorblindness, he sees the world through a distinctive lens, favoring high-contrast and brilliant colors. He works from a converted outbuilding studio on his Grand Rapids property, surrounded by drying canvases and a collection of ’70s records. Outside of painting, George is a chef at a local hospital.
