Girl In The Country Navy by Rosalind Wheeler - Painting on Canvas

For Angela Hawkey, art has always been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. Having a strong heritage in the arts, she explored many art mediums but her passion is oil palette knife painting. Colourful Australian landscapes with a dash of pink, highly textured still life and floral garden paintings are a great love of hers. Being a photographer and an artist allows her to really notice those little glimpses of beauty that are often missed. She likes to embellish on that and add a bit of playfulness and fun. Even when starting with a subject or idea in mind, she freely deviates from the plan and loves the unexpected surprises and naturalness that come from a relaxed style of painting.
