Bored Pandareached out to Angela, who shared more about herself.“I am currently an Art Director at Sony Pictures Animation. I work full-time in animation but love to work on my personal art and projects on the side. I also run a Plein-Air painting group in Los Angeles called the Warrior Painters and an online school called Warrior Art Camp!”RELATED:We were wondering what initially drew Angela to the world of artistry. The artist responded: “When I was younger, I was a huge JPRG gamer. Playing games helped me imagine different worlds and got me excited about creating them. After doing research online and going to college for art (even though I dropped out), I realized there was much more to explore in art and landed in the animation world. I go between animation and games for work and really enjoy that about doing art!”Angela described the essence behind her paintings: “The biggest theme I like to focus on is the experience I feel when visiting a location, seeing a still life, eating food, etc. Not only do I try to accomplish this through colors, I also like to experiment with application and mixed media.”As for the creative process, Angela commented: “Sometimes a specific photo I take during a trip really speaks to me and I can’t wait to get home to paint it. I like to think about how the air smelled, how the light felt, and other things that can help me make the painting feel ‘authentic’. Other times, I really just see beauty in random things and try to make it interesting. My wife always jokes and laughs that I have the strangest taste!”Lastly, Angela shared what she’d hope for people to take away from her art.“That they can maybe experience a small sliver of what I felt/experienced through my paintings.”“Thank you so much for your time!” added Angela.See Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored Panda
