Meet the Artist!

Angela had 2 long and very successful careers but following her recent retirement she fulfilled a lifelong dream and went to art college where she graduated with a 1st class honours degree.

Whilst there she tried many different mediums trying to find her own artistic style, and ended up as a process painter using mainly watercolours and then ink on very large pieces of paper.

As watercolour paints flow across wet paper, the colours collide and merge and thus unexpected patterns and colours develop that could not have created by design. She allows the paint to do the work and tries less to manipulate it. She says, I am constantly amazed at how beautiful the works I create are, as they are not contrived, but unpredictable and that is a delight.

When the work dries, I highlight the edges where the colours end, or merge with ink. I call this The Midas Technique because adding the ink elevates the painting to a new and brighter level. Just like everything Midas touched turned to gold, after highlighting the edges with ink my work becomes golden in my eyes.

She also does creative pottery and sculptures using a variety of materials.
