Angela grew up in rural Ohio. After studying Fashion Design at the University of Cincinnati, she pursued a career in Fashion Design in New York City. She worked for Old Navy and later founded a pattern design company. Her family began traveling west, and eventually settled in Portland Oregon, where they have resided since 2012.
After spending several years focusing primarily on her two children, Angela started Purpose Handmade. Her focus was on hand-stitched and hand dyed leather goods and art. Later, she co-founded Plural Collective, a mixed-use work, and retail artist space. During this time, she also began taking a variety of printmaking classes through the Multnomah Art Center.
Currently, Angela is a member of Alberta Street Gallery where she has a permanent space to display her art. The collection consists of leather art & monotypes.
"My work moves fluidly between printmaking and leatherwork, with the consistent theme being color. I have long been passionate about color mixing and find inspiration for my work in urban and natural surroundings. |
