About
the juror:
Pegge Hopper was born in
Oakland, California, and studied at the Art Center College
of Design in Pasadena, California. Her first job was with
Raymond Loewy Associates in New York designing murals for
department stores. Following a year of travel through
Europe, she worked for La Rinascente in Milan, Italy, for
two years designing posters and graphics. Pegge feels that
the experience she gained in Europe has been a major
influence in her work.
She moved to Hawaii in 1963 and
became art director for an advertising agency. In 1970 she
began to paint and print her distinctive Island women. Pegge
has had one-person shows in Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle
and in Hawaii at the Contemporary Arts Center. Her gallery
in the Chinatown section of Honolulu, opened in March, 1983,
and exhibits her original paintings and drawings.
Her work is found in many private
and public collections including the permanent collections
of the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, The
Honolulu Advertiser and Contemporary Arts Center in Hawaii,
American Hawaii Cruise Lines, the Bishop Museum, the
Honolulu International Airport, and the Pacific Club.
