Artist Statement
Angela Hansen
Angela is very interested in the human psyche and that which cannot be seen; that which exists through experience, time and change. She strives to represent emotion, states of mind, and the human condition in her abstract and figurative works. Angela's recent encaustic series, "Morphology of Memory", represents the changeable and mercurial qualities of memory.
Artist Biography
Lake Country artist Angela Hansen grew up on a small horse ranch near the BC interior town of Quesnel. Directly after graduating high school she moved to Vancouver and attended the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, (now Emily Carr University of Art and Design). She received a certificate of Design with a major in Graphic Design and she then worked as a freelance designer and in small print shops for a few years then decided to upgrade to a degree; she now holds a Bachelor of Design with a major in Communications Design from ECIAD. Angela then earned her teaching degree from the University of Victoria and has been an art teacher in the Central Okanagan for the past 17 years. She currently teaches art at George Elliot Secondary and lives in spectacular Lake Country, BC Canada with her husband and young son.
Angela has worked with a variety of mediums in the past, including; charcoal, ink, acrylics, block-print, photography, and clay and has been showing her art and photography since she was a teenager, mostly in the Kootenays and Central Okanagan. Angela joined the local group Livessence around 2005 when she worked almost exclusively with the human form - then her work took a drastic change from figurative charcoal and acrylic paintings to a more abstract form in encaustics after the birth of her son in 2008. She has been working almost exclusively in encaustic since then.
