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!

How peaceful! Might have to take a nap myself after seeing this.
Annie, these pen and ink sketches are superb - you have inspired me to take pen and sketch book with me when I go on holiday in May. I have nominated you to receive one of the art awards which is going round. Please go to my blog to collect that. The idea is that you name two other painter bloggers whose work you admire and give them a mention on your site. Cheers, Sheila.
Thanks to Sheila's award I came across your site. Your drawings are amazing! Looks like totally solid classical style. Did you go to PDS by any chance?
