Hi everyone,

First of all I'd like to thank Clive Campbell (www.camberg.com.au) for all the hard work he continues to do in creating and hosting all three of my websites - hard to believe it's been 10 years - how the time flies!

2010 is also a special year for STRCODE™ - the spiritual self development jewellery system which I created back in 1997. I plan to be adding a new product to the range this year (see www.starcode.com.au).

On this page, below, are some of my own favourite paintings. It features artworks I've completed since 1999 when my first exhibition of charcoals sold out on opening night in Canberra - a huge surprise for any self taught artist and an event which signposted the beginning of many creative opportunities to come throughout the next decade. I am grateful to those who have helped along the way - the list is long and also full of good memories.

As an intuitive artist, every painting I do is a learning experience - yet every piece also contains its own particular 'story' in the colours and lines that shape its final design. Sometimes I begin with an idea or image in my mind's eye and run with it. At other times I work with information people send me to create a piece that (I hope) expresses something colourful and meaningful about their own lives. These commissioned works offer me the chance to combine meditation and painting as one creative pathway towards expressing something internal as an external visual image.

When I was growing up my parents bought me heaps of 'how-to-paint' books which I really enjoyed using and learning. These gave me some great tips on how to get started and I think my own art book ''PAINT 2 RELAX' is a reference to that early part of my artistic journey. Since then, I have sought to paint purely from memory in order to connect with whatever image or movement emerged at the time. I enjoy using oils, pencils, inks, gutta, chalk, pastels, wax, foil appliqué, acrylic and charcoals to capture thoughts and emotions on canvas, wood and paper.

I'd like to thank you for visiting my site today - here's to a safe and creative year for us all in 2010.

Best wishes

Angela
