Date of event: January 15, 2011

Angela Oswald began painting in high school much as a journal entry, a place to release the fervor of young years that occurs in all of us when struggling to adapt in a seemingly nonsensical world. Having spent her early years beside the ocean furnished her love for the element that most all of life relies on, water. Her work is a blend of organic derived shapes and surreal suggestions. She approaches the canvas as both a personal and public place to reflect, comment, and dream.

After finishing her Undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Communication she began taking courses in Visual Arts at the University of California Berkeley. Today, she paints from memories and imagination inspired by the outside natural world. The draw towards other human beings, our natural environment and aesthetics perception lends her to paint in brilliant colors playing with gestural lines and motion.

Angela also appeared as a live painter at Flax on October 29, 2010.
