Peggy Dembicer is a mixed media artist whose work reflects a deep foundation in fiber arts and a lifelong exploration of materials and techniques. She began her artistic career in the early 1980s as a handweaver, developing a strong affinity for tapestry weaving. By the 1990s, her practice evolved toward framed and sculptural works, which she continues to exhibit in galleries and museum exhibitions, as well as in private collections. A central focus of Dembicer’s work is paper weaving. Using paper, fiber, and beads, she creates two- and three-dimensional framed constructions that range from pictorial to geometric and abstract compositions. These works reflect both structural precision and visual lyricism, rooted in traditional textile processes while reimagined through unconventional materials. Another primary area of concentration is Dembicer’s extensive use of seed beads. Her pictorial and patterned works may be woven, embroidered, painted, or assembled as intricate mosaics. In her mosaic pieces, thousands of tiny beads are meticulously placed and adhered with glue, forming richly textured surfaces. Some works contain as many as 20,000 beads and require months of sustained creative focus to complete. Recent works explore the integration of acrylics, polymers, beads, metal, and stone, expanding both scale and material dialogue. These combinations result in distinctive pieces that are visually stimulating and engaging to a wide audience. Peggy Dembicer lives in Weston, Connecticut, where she balances an active family life with daily time devoted to her studio practice.
