Angela studied art at Parsons School of Design. She developed a career as a textile designer, while focusing on botanical watercolor paintings of orchids for seventeen years. Currently she works in the Home Collection of Polo Ralph Lauren. She has also painted and exhibited watercolor landscapes.

Her work is contained in many private collections and is included in The Shirley Sherwood Collection, London, England, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden Florilegium Society, Brooklyn, NY, The Atlanta Botanic Garden, Atlanta Georgia and that of The American Orchid Society’s Headquarters in Delray Beach, Florida.

She was commissioned to create the posters for The New York International Orchid Show 1992-2005, The Miami Orchid Show 1999-2004. The Club Peruano De Orquideas Orchid Show 1997, and The American Orchid Society's 75th Commemorative Anniversary 1996. In addition, her paintings have appeared on the front covers of Orchids Magazine 2000 and The Orchid Digest 2001, as well as in the ‘Orchids in Art Series’ for Orchids Magazine 2001- 2004. Her paintings were also published in Dr. David Grove’s book titled Vandas and Ascocendas, Timber Press 1995.

Angela discovered her first orchids many years ago, while walking to art school in New York City in a florist's window. They were captivating and made quite an impression on me. Over the years I focused on a textile design career, while painting landscapes, but eventually my art and orchids would merge. “As a lover of 'light' and landscape painting, I must really attribute my desire to paint botanically to orchids. No other flower could have held my devotion all these years,” Angela says.

The orchids depicted in my paintings have come to me in various ways and I always prefer to work directly from life. I owe many thanks to all of the generous orchid growers who have lent me their plants. I have also travelled to the sites of rare orchids, to study them in their habitats. Whenever possible, I try to convey them in their natural habitat as so much of it is disappearing. Orchids and their interconnection with the natural world need to be seen, valued and protected. I hope my paintings, if even in a small way, can help increase conservation awareness.
