Overview

Pegi Nicol MacLeod

Pegi Nicol MacLeod is a Canadian and American watercolour artist.

She studied painting at the Montreal School of Fine Arts and was a member of the Canadian Watercolour Society and the Canadian Group of Artists. The influence of the Group of Seven is evident in MacLeod's early landscapes, and she later began painting in a more expressive style.

Pegi Nicol MacLeod's watercolours and oil paintings are sinuous lines and dynamic color. The artist took subjects from the world around her - children, portraits, gardens, crowded city streets. After the end of World War II, MacLeod achieved her success. Her "Manhattan Cycle" quickly gained a wide audience in Canada, moving from the National Gallery to a nationwide tour.
