Painter Leslie Peck began her career as a romance book cover illustrator but has settled into capturing farm animals and still lifes from her home in Greenwich, N.Y.

"Each animal has a noble purpose in this world," Peck said, "and I try to bring out the subtle beauty and simplicity of their nature. I have found the same eloquence in the vegetables, eggs or even bread that I try to portray in my oil paintings."

Peck's paintings will be on display at the Harrison Gallery in Williamstown starting tomorrow, March 2, with an opening reception at 5 p.m. She can be found at lpeck.com.
