Antonia Tyz Peeples

Born in 1957 in New Britain, CT, artist Antonia Tyz Peeples has literally and figuratively generated waves in the art world. As the daughter of a painter mother and a photographer father, Antonia was encouraged to pursue the arts at a young age. From as early as ten years old, she began taking painting lessons from local Connecticut artists. Throughout her young adulthood, Peeples continued her studies at Eastern Connecticut State University and Silvermine Guild of Art (CT).

For the past ten-plus years, Peeples has been painting realistic ‘oceanscape’ waves and a variety of water surfaces. She is captivated by water’s ability to remain a source of inspiration time and time again. An endless play between light and shadow along the surface of water emphasizes the intricacies and unique designs that are incorporated in Peeples’ works. Antonia Peeples’ pieces radiate diverse emotive properties, from serenity and complexity to force and flexibility to fervency and patience. They are pieces that captivate viewers, encouraging one’s eye to move just as the water does, in constant flux.
