"The true artist, searching for new expressions, will find them in abundance on the face of Africa where the exquisite beauty and peace of great open sun-kissed spaces abound, contrasting with a turmoil-laden land where primordial life commenced." Monty Brown

 

Angela, who comes from Graz in Austria, developed her skills in drawing and painting from a very young age. Parallel to a commercial education and career she attended art schools both at home and in Sweden. Whilst living in Scandinavia she turned to abstract painting where she held many successful exhibitions. Angela also lived in the UK and Germany. To expand their horizons, she and her husband decided to drive across Africa. Navigating the Sahara Desert, the Central and Southern parts of the continent they now reside in Kenya. Over time, Angela's expression in art has transformed into representational painting in which her passion for people, wildlife and landscape is evident.

The artist is versatile and confident with Oils, Pastels, Watercolour, Pencil and Charcoal. First-hand experiences of deep jungle, vast grasslands, open plains and bush savannah inspired Angela to extend her colour palette in an expressionistic style. The barren regions of the Kalahari and Namib deserts, in contrast to the lush green areas of the Okavango Delta, Zambezi River and source of the Nile assisted to produce her portfolio.
