BIOGRAPHY
Encouraged by her mother (a painter) and father (a photographer), Antonia Tyz Peeples
took painting lessons from local Connecticut artists beginning at the age of ten. After
high school she continued her studies at Eastern Connecticut State University and
Silvermine Guild Art Center in New Canaan, Connecticut.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Water is a never ending source of inspiration for me.
Each day, one painting after another, I seek an ever deepening understanding of its
essence. The more I observe, the more it seems there is to discover. The surface
designs, deep waters and shore breaks offer an infinite array of beautiful complexity.
Ever changing and omnipresent, the ocean is such a universal part of our
existence. There is a certain feeling of connectedness when sitting by its shores. The
endless rhythm, power and mystery of the sea course through our very veins.
Choosing to explore water and its visual language through my paintings has been a
enlightening and uplifting gift that I enjoy sharing. Thank you for taking the journey with
me.
