Years of research by art historian and author Laura Whitcomb have revealed Peavy¿s accomplished career: exhibiting at prestigious venues such as Stendahl Gallery in Los Angeles and New York''s Delphic Studios, where Agnes Pelton was also represented. Since its rediscovery, her work has received critical acclaim and has been acquired by prominent collectors, artists and museums. This inaugural publication of Peavy¿s work includes a definitive history of her artistic development as well
