Angela Anderson is a Melbourne artist inspired by the emotive power and impact of nature. Her paintings are born from personal experiences with the natural environment and travel journeys. Where does she find inspiration?
“I just look outward and around. But you have to be aware and have an open mind, it’s all about how you look at things.”
Angela’s love of being creative has been her motivation most of her life. Being a self-taught painter, she explores and is excited by the wonder of colour, light and texture.
Angela’s paintings excite the visual senses, drawing you in with the application of exhilarating colours and texture. On closer inspection you become aware of carefully considered layers of colours.
Born and raised in Melbourne and now living in the northern Greenhills area, Angela has studied Art and has been painting since the late 90’s. She is a regular exhibitor at local Melbourne art shows, has her artwork for sale online and on display at:
The Convent Gallery, Daylesford, VIC
The Surfcoast Gallery, Torquay, VIC
Humble House Gallery, Canberra, ACT
Angela lived in Broome, W.A. for a number of years and loved the intense light and vibrant colours of the Kimberley.
“My time living, working and painting in Broome in the Kimberley region of Western Australia was such an enriching experience both personally and as an artist. I was able to explore the Kimberley which is home to many amazing features; Yawuru sea country; the town of Broome; Staircase to the moon; the huge tidal range; the stunning coast of north Western Australia; the Australian snubfin dolphin; wet and dry seasons and Roebuck Bay Marine Park.”
Her artworks are inspired by the colour and the impact of the giant tides on the Kimberley coast which causes variations in colour and creates channels of waterways. Angela also paints the various coastal places she travels to.
Painting is her addictive, leisurely passion.
My artworks capture the energy and beauty of coastal environments. When I travel to the coast, I love to take images of the land and seascape interaction, the colours, the water, the coastal contours and record what I see. I often collect sticks and stones to remind me of the colours and textures.
I take these images into my studio and use them to inspire my artworks. I create intuitive, colourful, energetic, layered textured artworks that express the visual sights and express how it felt like to be in that beautiful coastal place.
