About the artist

Angela makes limited edition silkscreen prints from her home studio in North Yorkshire. Her work is an expressive and playful reflection of collected objects, still life studies, interiors, and gardens.

She works quickly and spontaneously in-order to create simple but expressive imagery. Bold broken outlines and texture are over-layed with colour using the photo and mono print silkscreen process using both hand painted alongside collaged stencils.

Angela graduated from Bath Academy of Art in 1981 with a BA in ‘Visual Communication’ where her love of printmaking, particularly silkscreen was established. Following a spell working as a commercial designer she moved into community print in London supporting individuals and groups to design and print their own publicity.

She moved to Yorkshire in 1986 to work with rural communities and set up Rural Arts North Yorkshire in 1990 establishing The Courthouse in Thirsk as a vibrant creative hub in central North Yorkshire for the local community as well as a broad range of artists and arts practitioners.

She has been a full time printmaker for four years and is currently artist in residence at Harrogate College.
