My name is Angela and I’m a full-time professional artist on a mission to create happy homes and brighten spaces.
I grew up in the Maine woods and have been surrounded by nature most of my life. I currently live on the Florida Gulf coast and love being near the water. All of my work is inspired by experiences in nature and living by the sea in Maine, Florida, and the Caribbean.
I currently work in my studio creating abstract paintings influenced by the landscape and light in Florida. St. Pete is my permanent home and I absolutely love living here with my loving partner, Megan and our two little dogs, Bootsie and Tupac.
I have a BFA and an MFA in painting, as well as over 16 years of experience in painting and teaching to all ages and levels. I’ve also shown my work in galleries all across the country.
“Oceans of Flowers” is a collection of 15 abstract oil paintings mimicking the natural rhythms of life. Inspired by my recent travels abroad, I witnessed the immense diversity of our planet and began contemplating its universal familiarity. A harmonious, soothing palette intermixed with vibrant accents covers the canvas. Each organic form naturally evolves into the next with a sense of my own intuitive process, much like a budding flower emerging from the soil. Expressive mark-making adds depth and texture imbued with simultaneous power and spontaneity, like the push and pull of the ocean’s tides against the shore. For me, this unusual pairing of land and sea becomes symbolic of the life forces that are essential to our being, an equalizing part of our nature that defies society, culture, or geography. We are transported to see the world and our daily lives from new angles that allow us to question who we are, how we find connection, and what it means to be a part of the magical thing called existence. Through these unique perspectives, sprinkled with color and captivating reinterpretations of nature, I want others to find joy. “Oceans of Flowers” is about the gratitude we often forget to feel when burdened by the chaos of the everyday. They are mementos, beautiful reminders that we are not alone.
