Angela Lillico:
ngela grew up in rural Manitoba. Motivated by curiosity and a drive for perfection she experimented with different mediums for years until she discovered fluid acrylic paint. The fluidity of the acrylic helped to convey the flowing lines she so often found in nature. She sometimes works in vibrant saturated hues, other times in ethereal, calming tones. Water reflections, veins in rock, billowing clouds, or wildflowers inspire each piece of work.
She has allowed the Creative Spirit within, to lead her mind, soul, and spirit to be free to have fun, enjoying the process, while using knowledge from years of classes and workshops to create her unique artworks. She paints in her Winnipeg studio daily, believing that beauty heals.
Her art has been exhibited in galleries in Winnipeg and rural Manitoba, and in Ontario. Her collectors come from Canada, the USA, Australia and Europe. She is a member of the Manitoba Society of Artists, the Winnipeg Sketch Club, and the Assiniboia Group of Artists Cooperative Inc.
