Emotion Is The Luxury
Because the most powerful art doesn’t impress — it resonates.
Hi, I’m Angela — and I paint to feel fully alive.
My art is bold, joyful and expressive — alive with colour, emotion and movement. Inspired by life and nature. Within it I explore harmony and unpredictability, what it means to be both strong and vulnerable.
To be human.
I paint to express. Loading my brush with more than just paint— it holds something real: a feeling, a truth, a release.
It's deeper than skin, it's thicker than paint.
(or rather giving form to what words can’t fully express)
This Is Where It Began
Where expression took over, and perfection let go.
I was 17 when I created my first fearless work. A self-portrait that had nothing to do with how I looked and everything to do with how I felt. And since then, my work has never been about perfection.
We’re taught to stay composed, to appear in control — but in doing so, we can end up masking the very emotions that make us feel alive. My art creates space for those deeper truths to surface — without judgement, without apology.
It’s about resonance, creating space for emotion — a celebration of emotional authenticity.
For those who seek beauty that’s personal, honest, and deeply human — this is what my art offers. Not something to simply own, but something to feel with.
Me & my fur baby, Patch
Art that speaks to your strength, your joy, and your boldest self.
Honouring where you’ve been — and who you are.
With mixed South African and British heritage and now New Zealand, I carry the contrasts of these places — peace and unease, refinement and raw emotion — in both my life and my art.
The landscapes, the histories, and the layered cultural experiences have shaped not only how I see the world, but how I feel it. My work doesn’t try to smooth over those tensions — it holds space for them. It honours its complexity.
My process often begins with music and ends in stillness. It’s spiritual. Raw. Grounded. And always a reflection of where I’ve been — or where I am. The result - Strong, joyful, soulful pieces that resonate beyond the subject.
It’s about being present with emotion—joy, strength, uncertainty, nostalgia—and weaving those feelings into recognisable scenes through colour, texture, and movement. I want my work to feel like freedom on a wall, like a deep exhale, like coming home to yourself.
It starts as mine, but something in it calls to you.
My hope is that you don’t just see my art — you feel it.
That it speaks to your strength, your joy, and your boldest self. And maybe, through that connection, you give yourself permission to feel more deeply. To live more fully. To honour what’s real.
What I believe…
Feeling is powerful.
Real beauty lives in truth—not polish.
Vulnerability is brave.
And it often leads us to the most authentic joy.
Art should connect.
Not just to your space, but to your heart.
Colour can heal.
And sometimes a single brushstroke can say what words never could.
