She now calls the coastal town of Victor Harbor home, where the natural beauty of the Fleurieu Peninsula continues to inspire her creative practice.
Angela’s lifelong passion for painting and drawing culminated in a Bachelor of Visual Art from Adelaide Central School of Art in 2020. In 2017 she held a Solo Exhibition, supported by funding from the Victor Harbor Arts Council, creating a unique ”Opening Night” experience within a residential care facility, bringing art directly to those unable to attend conventional exhibitions. The project reflected Angela’s belief in art as a powerful connector that can enrich everyday life.

Her work translating the sensory experience of place into tactile, expressive compositions.
