ABOUT THE ARTIST 
In the early 90's Angie studied art and design for 4 years at Leeds College of Art and Design. She successfully completed a BTEC National Diploma in 3D Design and a BTEC Higher National Diploma in Product Design. After graduating from College she continued developing her artistic and concept skills. Angie had a small craft business for several years designing and making products from old denim jeans including denim jeans mirrors, gift plaques, clocks and greeting cards. But her real passion has always been art and illustration. 

In 2025 Angie bought herself a pack of colourful alcohol based markers and a good quality acrylic paper pad... and her new art portfolio began! She has developed a unique art style that she feels is her signature art style now, for which Angie is extremely proud of. 

Angie's little art studio is based at home in Yeadon near Leeds and Bradford Airport. She enjoys her walks around the Yorkshire countryside nearby. Art and walking is a form of therapy for Angie to help her cope with her long term mental health struggles with anxiety, depression and arthritis pain.

Her illustrations are full of bright colours just like the art paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. His beautiful art has always inspired Angie in her own work. Van Gogh is her favourite artist of all time. She has several of his art prints framed on her walls at home. Bright colours really help to lift Angie's mood and keep her positive. A world without colour, for her, would be an dark place to be! Her love of Art and design has always kept her driven and plodding on in life! It's who she is and always has been, ever since she was young girl.

Angie has also written and illustrated a little children's picture book called Kody the Cowboy, which she has self-published. The story is about a cartoon cow caricature who wants to be a real cowboy and one day his dream comes true!
