Artist Angela Bawden, originally from Utah, relocated to Clayton, Georgia to fulfill her dream of living in the smokey mountains and opening an art gallery.

Angela works with a diverse range of media, including oil and acrylic paints, inks, plasters, polymers, resin, and gold leafing. She thrives on the creative freedom of exploring different mediums and incorporating unique techniques into her work. Her talent lies in creating aesthetically pleasing and calming paintings that seamlessly complement classic, rustic, and modern design styles.

Growing up in a large artistic family, Angela has been creating art since her earliest memories. Art is intrinsic to her soul and has always been a part of her world. Her father, a full-time professional artist-sculptor, supported the family through his art career. Throughout her childhood, she spent countless hours in his home art studio, playing with clay and drawing. In school, she often found herself doodling and drawing instead of paying attention to the teacher. From her father, she learned numerous techniques and concepts. During her childhood and young adult years, Angela assisted her father and siblings in sculpting many life-sized and larger statues and monuments.

In 2005, she launched a mural painting business, completing dozens of commissioned murals and custom wall art pieces over the following years.

In 2014, Angela embarked on a new journey, creating her own inspired fine art pieces on canvas and panel. Through countless hours of experimentation and creation in her art studio, she has developed a unique and distinctive body of work. Angela’s extraordinary and distinctive style has quickly captured the attention of both contemporary realism and abstract art enthusiasts. With her work in high demand, she has been able to fully pursue her passion of creating art. Her art has found its place in both public and private collections throughout the United States.

Artist Statement 

“Creating art is a journey of deep connection. It allows me to tap into my soul’s purpose, revealing the inherent beauty of life and our planet. This process fills me with immense gratitude and appreciation for all creation, and a sense of purpose that guides my every stroke. This profound connection transcends the act of creation itself, becoming a source of healing for both myself and the viewer. The emotions I pour into my art resonate with those who engage with it, fostering a sense of upliftment and positive energy. My ultimate aspiration is for my work to act as a bridge, transporting you to the space of profound connection I experienced during its creation. May it evoke positive and uplifting emotions within you, leaving you touched by the beauty and wonder that surrounds us.” ~Angela Bawden
