BIO OF 1ST PLACE WINNER: Peggy Liebenow

Colorful and Creative / Years of Experience — Talent and Passion: “Those who stop improving, stop being good.” This motto shapes my artistic journey in realistic oil painting, Pop Art, drawing, pastel painting, and abstract acrylic painting.

Childhood Dream and Inspirations: From an early age, painting has been more than a hobby — it’s a lifelong passion. Influenced by artists like Don Eddy, Terry Rogers, and John Baeder, my artistic career spans decades. I refined my skills with advice from restorers and seasoned artists, exhibiting my work both domestically and internationally.

Continuous Development: Through self-study, I explored various materials and styles, including Action Painting, Street Art, Pop Art, and abstract painting.

Freelance Artist: Since 2010, I have been a freelance artist, embracing new challenges and creating unique, hand-painted artworks.

Unique and Authentic Art: Each piece is a unique expression, reflecting my passion for color in Pop Art and my meticulous detail in realistic oil paintings. I have gained experience at national and international art fairs and exhibitions and won several international art awards. www.peggy-liebenow.de
