Autorenporträt
Peggy Vanstrom Cobb (1915- ) strives each day to learn something new about the world around her. For over a century, her boundless curiosity and creativity have enabled her to share her love of art through teaching, writing, drawing, and more. A native of Lynd, Minnesota, Peggy grew up with five siblings and college educated parents in an area often called "an oasis on the prairie" due to its glacier sculpted hills, valleys, lakes, and streams amidst the surrounding plains and farmland. Peggy earned her bachelor's degree in art education, and she taught and was the Art Supervisor in the Edina, Minnesota, public schools until she married Jacob (Jake) Cobb in 1943. They relocated several times due to Jake's deployments as a U.S. Navy officer, including to Tulane University, where Peggy earned credits towards a master's degree in art. After the war, she taught art at Ward Belmont College for girls in Nashville, Tennessee, while Jake completed his Ph.D. When he accepted a professorship at what is now Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana, Peggy taught and was Art Supervisor at its Laboratory School. While raising her three children, she took evening and Saturday classes at the university. She completed her master's degree in art in 1962. After Jake died, Peggy moved to Sandy Springs, Georgia, where her remarkable energy, positive attitude, eagerness to share ideas, and love for the arts and children continue unabated.
