Peggy Strong

born Tacoma, Washington, 1912; died San Francisco, California, 1956
BiographyTacoma artist Peggy Strong made her reputation painting realist images and murals. She studied at the University of Washington and with Alice Engley Beek (1867–1951) and Mark Tobey (1890–1976) among others. In 1933 she was injured in an automobile accident and paralyzed from the waist down but continued to paint. A member of the Women Painters of Washington, Strong exhibited regionally in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco, as well as nationally, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Though Strong most often focused on representational images of daily life, she also painted abstractly.
