About Peggie B. Hensley

I was the kid who learned to draw before writing. When my fourth child, Alisha, entered Kindergarten, I enrolled in Southern West Virginia Community College with plans to transfer to West Virginia State College and get a BS in Biology Education. I wasn't sure I wanted to actually be a teacher, but Adron and I both felt it more prudent to equip me to earn a living than to buy a life insurance policy on him. I chose Biology because I love learning about living things and thought that would make me more likely to get a job if I ever needed one. Once I got to WVSC, I filled the hours between Science classes with art classes. (All over twelve hours is 'free' and I'm the daughter of George and Irene Adams Baisden: Waste Not, Want Not!) When I finally got all the Science classes that were required for my degree, I was also certified in Art education.

Our oldest child, Josh, graduated from Chapmanville High School in 1993, the same year I graduated WVSC with a BS in Art and Biology Education. Josh's teachers had made such a profound impression on ME with their generosity and innovative methods of motivating him that I decided I should 'pay it back'.

Currently I teach Art/Computer Art at Logan High School, Logan, WV. In 2003 I founded pbh Art, Inc. and began thinking about transitioning from full-time teacher/part-time photographer to full time photographer/NO-time teacher. I still love being in the classroom, but...

Josh now lives in Martinsburg, WV; his daughter, Georgia, introduced us to the joys of grandparenting. Ben, second son, is a surgeon, married to Kelli Mullins, and father to Hannah, Logan, and Luke. They live in Summersville, WV. Derrick, third son, is a gifted guitarist/song writer, finishing his studies at Marshall University. Only daughter, Alisha, lives in Columbus, OH, with her husband Chip VanderZwaag. His daughter Jenna, is our third granddaughter. God continues to bless our family.
