Four decades after training at Maidstone College of Art, life changing
circumstances prompted Angie Morris to take up her paintbrush again.
Depending on the atmosphere and the mood of the subject Angie may use fine
line pens, bold acrylics or multiple layers of watercolour. Angie likes the
unexpected in a picture so although this may feature in the representation
of the subject itself, occasionally Angie will add digital technology into
the mix before printing. As a comedian turns the norm into something that
appeals to our sense of humour for seemingly incomprehensible reasons, Angie
likes to turn a potentially serious image into something more unusual;
something that may make the viewer look twice. This is particularly apparent
in the new range of greetings cards currently on the drawing board.
For many years Angie worked as a Marketing Director for a major player
display company and this experience is in part responsible in her belief in
making a product - in this case art - easily available. Therefore, her
pictures are produced as special limited edition prints. Using Ultrachrome
inks on beautiful 255gsm enhanced artist paper creates a long lasting image
(over 100 years!) for you to enjoy.
Angie likes the anonymity of travel; the soaking up of atmospheres. the
feeling of 'being at one' with a place which allows the mind to wonder and
wander. She feels a special pull towards the south west of France where the
relentless surf of the Atlantic and the breezes in the pine trees stir up
creative energy into the ozone. A great many of her poems were written
there, also 'Natural Nonsense' and the two Lily and Fred stories.
Fortunately for Angie, she has a husband who not only positively encourages
her to spend all the time in the world 'playing' at her drawing board or
computer but is a highly motivated and competent techno-wizard who has
enabled the practical side of commercial artwork. He and her children, now
adults, are her greatest admirers and are unstinting and generous in their
encouragement of the return of the paintbrush after such a protracted delay!
