When painting flowers, Angela physically holds the stem, allowing her to rotate it and create a fluid interaction between the object and the medium. This hands-on approach results in a more dynamic and active rendering, capturing the essence of each subject.
Each painting reveals the intricate universe within petals, leaves, and flower stems, showcasing subtle colour variations and delicate vein striations that define structure and form. Her work reflects a fascination with the intimate details of nature, transforming random plants on a friend's windowsill, the curling roots of a cutting in an old jam jar, or flower stems in a vase into captivating compositions.
Angela's paintings are visual narratives of 'worlds within worlds,' blending observation with abstraction. They represent an ongoing dialogue between the integrity of nature and the contemplation of objects, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty in the everyday.
Angela is a contemporary artist whose work has been exhibited in numerous galleries, earning recognition for her detailed pastel compositions inspired by nature.
