About the Artist

Arlene Peck's Fine Art

 Arlene moved to South Caroline in 2004 after 25 years in the medical management profession and CEO for a large oncology practice in Connecticut.  Responsibilities and long hours, in addition to raising two sons, did not leave time to pursue many hobbies or dreams; art was not one of her priorities. In 2006, while vacationing in Italy to explore her Italian heritage, Arlene was intrigued by the people, culture, and landscape. Unknown at the time, her art journey would begin here. Upon her return, she took brush to paper and tried to recreate a Cyprus landscape. She still looks at this piece of art and comments that it reminds her of a child’s first watercolor. She persevered, took lessons, participated in local workshops, and spent hours working on paintings. With every brushstroke, Arlene deepened her interest in art and expanded her knowledge. The South Carolina art communities continued to encourage her. Arlene has exhibited her paintings in local galleries.  She is an associate member of the South Carolina Watercolor Society, American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, and the Southern Watercolor Society.  Arlene welcomes you to her exhibit and shares with you her paintings and hope that you derive as much pleasure from viewing them as she has had in creating them.
