About ANGELA

Anne Arundel County
I am a found object assemblage artist. I have been doing this since 2007. I was initially a photographer, achieving my Bachelor's in Fine Art at The University of New Mexico. Always enjoying multiple techniques and mediums, I find assemblage and collage the perfect discipline for my artistic expression. My work speaks quietly through symbolism and suggestion. I am currently Chair of MD Federation of Art's Bi Annual National Exhibit Eye of The Beholder: The Fine Art of The Found Object.
