Peggi Habets is a painter based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After years of teaching, writing, and exhibiting across the country, she has turned her focus inward—devoting her practice to the study of connection between humans and the natural world. Her recent work explores what she calls a “language of reverence,” reflecting on the interdependence of plants and people and the emotional terrain that links them.
Throughout her career, her paintings have been collected and exhibited internationally and recognized by the National Watercolor Society and the American Watercolor Society. Habets’ work was selected from more than 7,000 entries for the prestigious Shanghai Watercolour Biennial and the Shenzhen International Watercolour Exhibition in China.
Her artwork has appeared in numerous 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.
