ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) is one of the most famous philosopher/writers ever, even though she wrote only three novels (but also other non-fiction work). Published in 1957, “Atlas Shrugged,” considered her magnum opus, is more popular today than when it was published. I read it in 1964 when I was 17, along with her other popular work, “The Fountainhead.” Both books had a profound effect on me, although I currently have mixed feelings about her philosophy she calls “objectivism” (explained in her own words on my portrait of her). It took her 16 years to write “Atlas Shrugged”—and, at over 1,100 pages, almost that long to read!

~ My paintings have been published in 6 books: ~ "Winter 2015 Art Auction" by Shan Peck ~ "Spring 2016 Art Auction" by Shan Peck ~ "Arts Sports Politics Science--Portraits of Famous People" by Shan Peck ~ "Africa" by Shan Peck ~ "Children's Illustrations" by Shan Peck ~ "196+1 Artwork" by Shan Peck. I also served as Shan's editor on 3 of the books. ~ I was born and raised in the Midwest in the mid-1940’s, graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a B.A. in Theater (concentrations in musical theatre performance and costume design), then moved to Los Angeles in 1976 where I lived most of my adult life. At age 40, while working full-time at night and raising a son by myself, I returned to school and earned a Professional Certificate–Summa Cum Laude in Fashion Design; one of my designs won second place in the 1987 "Suit of the Future" national design contest. ~ In 2014, at age 68, I turned my creative focus from acting, singing and dancing to drawing & painting. I often create dimension in my art with fabric, apparel trim, feathers, jewelry, Swarovski rhinestones & beads, and paper collage. My style is realistic yet often whimsical and I hope my sense of humor comes through in my work because . . . well, because life is just . . . FUNNY!
