Welcome to Angela Howard.org.uk

Angela in studio

Primarily I am excited by organic growth and natural forms.  However, I have recently begun to investigate the similarities of shapes and forms inherent in non-organic subject matter too.  My ideas and work are based around my own perception of nature and my surroundings and I am particularly attracted by the gorgeousness of the shapes, forms and colours all around us.

It is this starting point that provides a catalyst for my art.

I find that there are strong decorative qualities within my work, although this is not my main concern.

I am interested in the surreal qualities found within these images and how viewing these forms from different aspects can create strange perspectives.  I see my work as containing representational imagery of individual ‘organic beings’ or ‘organic portraits’ perhaps set within a scape of some sort.

I am concerned with areas of flat colour and how colour associations affect each other and indeed pictorial space.  Balance of line, shape and colour within my images is very important to me.  I feel it contributes towards an integral and cohesive composition.

I enjoy working on large scale supports and feel that the colours have impact on such a size.

I am always interested in exploring different paints, techniques and processes, but feel that for me, the image is key and not necessarily the technical processes.

My images are important to me and I find them very rewarding.

Please visit my BLOG to see what I have been involved in just lately.
