Description:	Born in Lawton, Oklahoma, award-winning artist Peggy Chun has been a resident of Hawaii since 1969. Peggy's colorful and whimsical artwork captures the "spirit of Aloha" that is Hawaii. In the spring of 2002, Peggy was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, the same disease that plagued her mother and her twin sister, Bobbie. Bobbie, who passed away in 1987, was a well-established artist herself and was the inspiration for Peggy to pick up her first paintbrush in 1989. She has been creating ever since. Currently, there is no cure for ALS. But this debilitating motor neuron disease has yet to slow Peggy down. Though wheelchair bound, Peggy continues to paint daily. When the disease weakened Peggy's painting hand in early 2003, she determinedly taught herself to paint with her left hand. You will see a tiny "LH" signed next to her signature indicating pieces that were done entirely with her left hand. Recently, she has also lost the strength in her left hand. But, no problem there for Peggy…you will see a tiny "T" signed on images that she has painted with her teeth! Peggy works primarily in watercolor, but has also explored a variety of media over the years, including acrylic, oil, pastel, photography, and collage. At the start of her painting career, Peggy studied under the guidance of well-known Honolulu artist, Gloria Foss. She continued her art education at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Peggy has been an active member of the Hawaii Watercolor Society since 1989. And while prized as one of Hawaii's most beloved artist, Peggy also has a strong following in back home in Oklahoma, where she visits and holds shows as often as possible. Peggy's work can be found in both private and corporate collections across the globe. Some of her countless commissions include Absolut Vodka, CD artwork for local legend Nona Beamer, Punahou School, St. Francis Hospital Foundation, Hawaiian Airlines, Hulihe'e Palace, Queen Emma Summer Palace (Haniakamalama), The Sheraton Moana Hotel, the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel, Outrigger Hotels, and Mariot's Ko Olina development. We hope you enjoy Peggy's artwork. Thank you for your continued support and Aloha.
