Sedona’s Favorite Art Gallery and Gift Shop

The Village Gallery of Local Artists is delighted to invite art lovers and collectors to view the vibrant work of painter Peggy Doig. Doig will be our Featured Artist for the month of March 2026, and we will host a reception on Friday, March 6th, from 5 to 8 p.m., to showcase her collection. Join us for light refreshments and the opportunity to meet Doig and enjoy a demonstration of her process for inspiration at 5:45 p.m. A raffle begins at 5 p.m. and the winner will have a one-one-one session guided by Doig to create an alcohol ink artwork.

It’s the memorable eyes in her portrait that grab you. Doig’s oil painting, Urban Legend, depicts a beautiful young woman, exuding both strength and vulnerability. Doig describes how she started with an interesting face. Then, artist and painting began a dialogue and the latter described what it wanted to be. “She was tough, innocent, and streetwise. As I painted her, she asked me to be in New York city with a dragon tattoo.”

“I use my art to show to others what my perceptions appear to me – transparent, amorphous vibrating light that outlines living forms,” she explains. “I was validated when internationally renowned American author, speaker, and pioneer in energy medicine and human

consciousness, Caroline Myss, noted that human perception changed over the centuries from visualizing only a few primary colors to include also amorphous iridescent colors since this is what happens to me.”

Doig works primarily with oil paint on canvas and wood panels, utilizing the classical Flemish Method of gesso preparation, grisaille, glazing, and scumbling, to achieve luminosity and depth. She also plays with alcohol inks to create free-form artworks to balance chakras using color and guided meditation. Her gallery collection includes portraits, lush landscapes, animals, and abstract works inspired by Southwestern, symbolic, and spiritual motifs. The pieces on display include both original paintings and vivid prints and cards of sold and available works.

Doig has been working as a full-time artist in Atlanta, Georgia and Sedona for over twenty years, following a career in forensic science and medical research. But she was always an artist and knew that she would eventually spend her retirement creating art. She spends her time honing art skills to better express her lifelong fascination with subtle energy.

“Some artworks are effortless and seem to paint themselves,” Doig explains. With others, she continues, “I’ll stop and wait till I’m in the flow with a piece. It is not about production; it is about allowing the essence to speak.”

We invite our Sedona community of art enthusiasts to meet Peggy Doig and to allow themselves to be drawn into her paintings. Join us from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 6th. The Village Gallery is located at 6512 State Route 179, in the Village of Oak Creek, and is always accepting applications for unique art and new membership in our cooperative style gallery.
