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!

That is so crazy good! How do you get started on a new piece?
Wow! great work!
Thank you Pam and Suzanne! I get hi res photos from the internet and make guidelines on the photoshop file to relate to a grid that I also draw on the canvas. Then I use the grids to size the photo up and transfer the drawing to the canvas. Sorry if this sounds confusing - I'm not very good at explaining!
Wow this is great!
