Technique
Angela has perfected a pastel technique to imitate feathers and fur, rendering the rich textures, colours and forms of Africa’s animals and birds with impeccable precision. Her handling of light accentuates the 3-dimensional quality of her subjects. Background elements are more spontaneously executed, hinting at natural habitats, while focusing the eye on the subject.
Over 30 years of camping in Africa’s remote wilderness areas, and countless hours in the company of herds of elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras & the great predators that stalk them, enables Angela to further study animal behaviour & ecology. She remains a dedicated conservationist, likely to be found on her haunches at a busy hyena den, or sketching oystercatchers on the sandy shores below her studio.
Her work is represented in many private collections throughout Southern Africa as well as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany & Holland.
