We were wondering what initially drew Angela to the world of artistry. The artist responded: “When I was younger, I was a huge JPRG gamer. Playing games helped me imagine different worlds and got me excited about creating them. After doing research online and going to college for art (even though I dropped out), I realized there was much more to explore in art and landed in the animation world. I go between animation and games for work and really enjoy that about doing art!”
Angela described the essence behind her paintings: “The biggest theme I like to focus on is the experience I feel when visiting a location, seeing a still life, eating food, etc. Not only do I try to accomplish this through colors, I also like to experiment with application and mixed media.”
As for the creative process, Angela commented: “Sometimes a specific photo I take during a trip really speaks to me and I can’t wait to get home to paint it. I like to think about how the air smelled, how the light felt, and other things that can help me make the painting feel ‘authentic’. Other times, I really just see beauty in random things and try to make it interesting. My wife always jokes and laughs that I have the strangest taste!”
