This is Angela’s artist profile:
“Before discovering my love for the arts, I was immersed in the equestrian world, competing in events ranging from dressage to camp drafting.
“Throughout my journey, I observed many gestures of affection and sometimes the painful bruising of human ego towards our equine companions.
“I have a profound sense of serenity and sometimes strain in my paintings. My passion lies in capturing the essence of horses, dogs, and people through portraiture. With each acrylic stroke, I strive to evoke emotion and connection, drawing viewers into the soul of my subjects.”
Two major prizes and ten highly commended certificates will be presented on the awards night.
