Angela
Wadsworth was born in Hereford,
although she spent much of her childhood in Germany,
before completing her education in Yorkshire and East
Anglia.
Between the ages of fourteen and sixteen she won
several prizes for her sculpture work, later gaining
a scholarship to Art College.
Angela’s Grandfather, Edward Greenwood, was
a famous illusionist and cartoonist, so it’s
not difficult to see where she gets her talent from.
While
living in Canada,
Angela found a great deal of inspiration from the
Canadian First Nation Artists. Their simplicity
of work influenced her enormously, and she was
to create a style and interpretation of her own
which has proved to be very successful, and a joy
to behold.
The
mediums Angela uses most are pencil, and pen & ink.
Although she loves water colours, and likes to use
acrylic for her more abstract styles of art work.
Simplicity, clarity, variety, and extreme are all
words that express her distinctive technique.
“My
style is very varied and extreme, sometimes no
detail, to maybe too much detail. I am learning
every day and I have over 30 years of ideas just
trying to get out.”
