About Me
- Angie
- 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!

Did you have your sketchbook up under your chin? I just love your sketches. Its a bit like being a peeping Tom into your life. That makes me seem a little weird - I'm not, I promise!
Nice to see what people are doing on their boats, while I am painting them, ... hehehe.
Great sketch, a bit abstract but never the less great!
I know you're not weird Anita - I want people to feel like that when they look at the sketches! Thanks René, sorry it is a bit abstract, just a couple of woolly things on the page!
No sorry for the abstractness Ann, I painted abstract landscapes in my previous life, abstractions from sketches I made with palette knife and Indian ink in the field. quite large as well, .. 90 x 120 cm. So I don't mind, even more I do like the thin line between abstraction and reality, ... as in real life I guess
