My name is Angie Wood and I live on a narrowboat on the beautiful Oxford canal.
A long time ago in the eighties I studied Art and Design at Goldsmiths College and went on to be a paste up artist and then a graphic designer. I’ve never stopped painting and drawing though – I painted pet and animal portraits for a while and over the past two years have begun creating small oil paintings of vintage objects, textiles and flowers. I collect items from fleamarkets to paint and my little narrowboat is getting fuller all the time! I’m particularly delighted by colourful patterns on textiles and ceramics and I also love painting reflective surfaces. I’m usually attracted to items from the early part of the twentieth century, which bring back memories of my great aunts’ and grandmother’s cosy houses. My artistic aim is to pay homage to the things I paint by observing them as closely as I can, and to create something beautiful that will hopefully make people as happy as I was when I was making it!

Wonderful drawing job as usual, and looks like A Viking design to me.
I love it! And cheerful is the most important quality for utensils anyway.
Lovely drawing. I share your viewpoint on tableware, cheerful over precious any day!
Well it's certainly a remarkable drawing! Well done.
It looks great! I love the shininess shown by the reflections. It's not a plain ol' fork.
Thanks for all your lovely comments!
