PEGGY CHUN CUTTING BOARD DESIGNS
Peggy Chun is know in Hawaii for her beautiful and often whimsical artwork. Her work can be found in both private and corporate collections across the globe. This watercolor artist, who lived the last years of her life paralyzed b ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, captured the “spirit of aloha” in her paintings and thrived on sharing her love of the islands (and life!) with the world. Even through her 6-year battle with ALS, Peggy continued to live a full and creative life, inspiring those around her with her courage, passion, and sense of humor in the face of adversity.
In 2002, Peggy was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease; the same disease that took her twin sister, their mother, and grandfather. In 2003, Peggy’s lungs weakened and she was placed on a ventilator. That same year, she lost use of her right hand. Peggy simply painted with her left. In 2004, a weakened left hand sent the paintbrush to her teeth. And when Peggy lost the use of her jaw muscles in 2005, she used a computer system called ERICA to digitally paint images using her eye movement. Look carefully next to Peggy’s signature on some of her prints. You will see a tiny “LH” for those images she created using her left hand and you will see a “t” next to her name on those she painted with her teeth.
Peggy’s playful spirit, generous heart, inspiring courage, and “larger than life” presence will forever live on in our hearts. For Peggy, creating was living. “After all,” she said, “you don’t paint with your hands, you paint with your heart.”
