Peggy O’Neal – Peggy O’Neal’s extraordinary and frequently monumental murals and paintings celebrate and honor cultural diversity, the environment, and the history and traditions of Native Peoples.  Peggy has developed her artistic style of energetic realism on a grand scale and is widely recognized for public art projects, corporate commissions, murals, and painted exhibits. Gifted with natural talents from an early age, she later advanced her skills with five years of extensive training at the San Francisco Academy of Art.   Today, Peggy is the interpreter of visual history for many tribes in the Pacific Northwest.
