‘Anne Peyton: Art and Conservation’ featured in Art Of The West magazine
(July 1, 2025) - Arizona artist Anne Peyton’s art journey and her commitment to conservation is the subject of a feature profile in Art of the West magazine.
Anne spoke with staff writer Joe Tougas about her art journey as a child in Colorado drawing birds for family and neighbors to becoming a prominent automotive racing artist for three decades before circling back to her early roots at the start of the new millenium.
Tougas writes that Peyton is drawn to birds largely as a mission, one that offers new information about the animals, information that includes behaviors and even personalities that she gets to observe while taking care of owls, hawks, eagles and vultures at Liberty Wildlife, a rehabilitation center in Phoenix, Arizona, devoted to caring for injured wildlife.
“It’s awareness about the animals around us that we never see,” Peyton said. “My message is, in the end, conservation. That’s who I am and what I do. I’d like for people to care about birds as much as I care about them, but they’re not ever going to do that if they never actually see them.”
“Anne Peyton: Art and Conservation” appears in the July/August edition of the magazine.
