Peggy’s collaboration with D’Ambino Winery and Cellars, a winery owned and operated by a family of talented and fun loving musician/winemakers, has shaped and inspired her to make pieces with music as a central theme.

Like the D’Ambinos, we’re a family of music lovers, too. Many years ago – way before MySpace, color computer monitors, and almost before the Internet was invented – we were in the band Up in the Air. Peggy played flute and Michael played conga drums. It was great fun and we still have our original instruments decorating our home.

Peggy has always enjoyed illustrating and glazing people in her wax-resist work. It’s a natural next step and adventure to capture musical life, and she is eagerly exploring and inspired to do more musical designs.

The photo of the hanging plate above is the 3rd piece capturing musical life. It’s not for sale – we’re keeping it. The first two, including “D’Ambino Family at Play,” were sold during the Art of Wine auction on April 16th, 2010.
