Peggi Habets is a Pittsburgh-based painter whose work explores the quiet, enduring connection between humans and the natural world. After years of teaching, writing, and exhibiting nationally, she has turned her focus inward, devoting her practice to what she calls a “language of reverence”—paintings that reflect on the emotional and ecological ties between people and plants.

Her work has been collected and exhibited internationally and recognized by both the National Watercolor Society and the American Watercolor Society. It was also selected from more than 7,000 entries for the Shanghai Watercolour Biennial and the Shenzhen International Watercolour Exhibition in China.

Peggi’s paintings and writing have appeared in publications including The Artist’s Magazine, Watercolor Artist, The Art of Watercolour, L’Art de L’Aquarelle, Women United Art Magazine, and Pratique des Arts, as well as the Splash: Best of Watercolor series and Artist, Mother, Proud & Serious, Vol. 2. She is the author of Watercolor Made Easy: Portraits and has contributed to The Art of Drawing and Painting Portraits and Faces & Features.
