Angela Anderson

Biography

Unsurpassed shorelines, meandering creeks, the iconic Cable Beach, rugged pindan rocky cliffs, these elements all combine to set the stage for the main feature, the Kimberley Coast. It is from the breathtaking coastal vistas that Angela draws her artistic inspiration and an idyllic palette in her studio. Angela is excited by the interplay of colour, light and texture as is best known for her textural, acrylic work in a style that conveys a contemporary take on coastal views, colours and the energy of the changing tides. She uses the natural forces of flow, wind and heat to create paintings of nature. Her aerial perspective is intended to inspire the viewer to reflect on the endless beauty of coastal Australia.
When looking for inspiration, Angela looks outward and downward at an overall view and then focus’ in on the detail, deconstructing the elements, pondering how she will represent the colour, light, changes in depths, contours and contrasts through paint.
Being creative has been Angela’s passion since childhood. Majoring in Art at Tertiary level and painting since the early 90’s, Angela has exhibited and sold artworks at shows throughout Melbourne, Victoria and moved from Melbourne to Broome in 2016. Many adventurous hours have been spent exploring the Kimberley by road, sea and air.
Angela held her first successful solo, “Kimberley Art Exhibition” in 2018 and her paintings were highly sought after, selling 21 of 25 exhibition pieces. A second successful solo Exhibition followed in 2019. Her work has been auctioned and sold at the Kimberley EK Art Auctions as well as exhibiting works at major shows in Broome and beyond. Capturing the colours of the Kimberley coast of Western Australia has been paramount to her artwork.
“The impact of the Kimberley on my art and on my passion to paint has been incredibly powerful. The Kimberley stole my creative heart!
I passionately love to capture in paint coastal waters, the effects of the giant tides, the undulations formed by elements, waves responding to the coast and stunning coastal colours. I have always loved the sea and have spent most of my life’s holidays on a beach. The Kimberley coastline is very special to me, and my paintings are inspired by this special place on earth.” Angela Anderson.
