Portrait of Angie Hoopert

Biography

As an artist living and working in North Wales, Angie is constantly inspired by her surroundings and the beautiful land, sea and skyscapes have become the subject of her paintings in recent years.

The ever-changing skies have become a particular subject, “I am often stunned by the ethereal beauty gifted to us by the weather, particularly along our coastline and feel compelled to try to capture the mood and emotions I experience. I draw upon memories and senses, as well as photographs and sketches, but frequently a painting will emerge as something very different”.

I attempt to convey in my paintings the essence of these atmospheric events – the play of light, the dance of clouds, and the interplay of colours. Whether it’s a storm brewing over the sea or a tranquil sunset casting its warm glow, I seek to capture these fleeting moments, so they can be held onto forever. I am also heavily inspired by the sense of calm and stillness there is to be found out in the hills or along the coast. There is nothing but beauty, even in a storm. Every moment is different, from dark skies and the sounds of crashing waves and birds screeching to a silent stillness, serenity, and a subtlety of light. I can only dream that some of the feelings of peace, contemplation, escapism and hope are reflected even a tiny bit in my paintings.
