Peggy Thurston Farrell
Peggy Thurston Farrell, an Emerita Professor of Art at Carroll University, has been extensively exhibited and collected. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Over the years, her art has evolved from the two-dimensional print medium to collaged, painted, and silkscreened three-dimensional paper and wood constructions.
Thurston’s work has been shown in both solo and group exhibitions across the United States, Peru, Japan and locally, including the Milwaukee Art Museum, Tory Folliard Gallery and the Wisconsin Painters and Sculptor’s Biennial. Peggy’s current works are colorful and exciting collages of painted and silkscreened papers. Much of her work explores the concepts of containment and the interaction of the inner and outer worlds of structures.
Evolution of Expression, a series of five silkscreen relief pieces portraying the evolution of language, communication and writing, is displayed on the north wall of the library. Acquired in 2008.
