Peggy Arnett
Monthly Presentation

January 2026 

This month’s program was presented by artist, musician and jewelry maker, Peggy Arnett.   A member of the North Georgia Guild, the multi-talented Peggy’s specialty is painting on dried leaves.  Her beautiful works of art number in the thousands and can be found in homes throughout the United States.  Peggy explained how she collects and dries leaves, imagines a design that will fit the shape and size of the leaf, then creates a masterpiece.    Her subject matter includes an array of subjects such as birds, lighthouses, landscapes, historic landmarks, and even patriotic scenes.  Peggy credits her husband, Terry, a professional framer, with assisting her and contributing to her art.  The audience was enthralled with their stories of how these beautiful paintings were created.

Scholarships

The Guild’s long-time goal was realized in 2015 with the establishment of  the NGAG Art Scholarship Program. Through it, we provide educational financial assistance to artistically talented graduating high school seniors. The first scholarships were awarded to four outstanding students in 2016.  The program continues to benefit students through funding from the annual fundraiser, Sassafras Artisan Market, our generous sponsors, and individual donations.

 

To date, 29 scholarships, each $1000 have been awarded to graduates from four area high schools: 

Rabun County High School, Rabun Gap Nacoochee School, Habersham Central High School, and Tallulah Falls School.

Congratulations 2025 Scholarship Recipients

This years selectees represent the ideals of our organization. Not only do they have remarkable past achievements but exciting future plans.
