About the Item
Artist Comments
Leafless trees stretch upward against a vibrant, lime-green sky. A purple path leads the eye into the distance. The limited palette makes the scene cohesive and tranquil. Artist Peg Belcastro notes that the expansive perspective in the painting resembles a long hike with a distant turnaround point.
About the Artist
Artist Peg Belcastro paints vibrant narratives in her colorful and energetic compositions, inspired by the wooded acres and lush gardens of her rural Pennsylvania home. Living in Alaska for ten years deeply influenced her artistic approach. "The people who live there have a particular way of thinking which is essential for surviving in the far north. It's the attitude of courage to be true to yourself, to honor your passions, and to live life to the fullest—no matter what anyone else thinks," says Peg. She knew from a young age she would follow a path in the arts and sold her first painting at age fifteen. However, it was only after retiring from a career in real estate, which included designing and building homes, that she dedicated her time to artistic exploration in her painting studio—a stand-alone structure across their driveway built by her homebuilder husband, which she calls her happy place. When she's not making art, she finds joy in cooking with homegrown produce, playing the African marimba with an all-woman band called Mazimba, and meeting artist friends over lunch to talk about art.

A woman lies under a vibrant night sky, the stars and planets illuminating her form. Bold colors and energetic directional brushwork add a hypnotizing energy to the composition. This piece is artist Diana Elena Chelaru's personal interpretation of the vast space.
About the Artist
Artist Diana Elena Chelaru creates vibrant expressionist works that explore human emotion and the cosmos. “Art is a means of communication, a way to express my thoughts, hopes, and joys,†says Diana. She uses form, lines, and color to bring her imaginative compositions to life, with inspiration drawn from Byzantine mosaics and Gustav Klimt’s decorative patterns. Diana received her BFA in Painting from George Enescu Art University and an MA in Art History from Queens College. Diana’s creative process is fluid and intuitive, guided by her emotions in the moment, with music as a constant companion. Her studio, located in the basement of her home, is kept clean and organized. When she’s not creating, Diana enjoys spending quality time with her family.
