About me
Okay. I admit it. I am a fine artist. Being creative, innovative, informative, aesthetic, approachable and fun. Design follows function, art defines and innovates. Yes, I have had a rather full and fluid career in creativity, with only until graduation from University of Suffolk realising my direction. Contributor to Thrive Global Community, my profile: https://thriveglobal.com/authors/angela-wright/ "If you get dealt lemons, make lemonade" - Joan Collins. "Enthusiasm is magic, it spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment" - Norman Vincent Peale. Proudly, I am well known locally in the creative circles for my high standard of presentation skills, I was voted by ALL the lecturers at University of Suffolk to write a speech and deliver a Thank You speech on behalf of the Graduates. Amongst my creative skills and administration skills, I have great writing skills, image-making, social media and my collection of historically relevant local arts information. As an Auntie I am proud to be engaged completely in the role with my niece Gracie. In my studies and onwards I have read about the mirror stage by Lacan, being able to witness the developments of my niece in this crucial development is particularly interesting. I regularly take her to art galleries and engage with her in painting, playing and learning through practice. One of my projects is my blog on being an Auntie, please follow me by copying and pasting the link: https://www.educatingauntie.com/ I am confident with working with children I have been a Governor, I was a Girl Guide Leader (in training) and I give talks to schools through Inspiring The Future and my company Way Arts and Communications https://wayartsandcommunications.co.uk/ I confess, yes, I have been on benefits and being able to make the progress I have, I could not have achieved had I not received such vital support.

    I want to be beautiful - in Tell GillianI submitted an image, as a member of the public and in my own context as an artist to the Facebook page of Whitechapel Art Gallery. It was then selected by Gillian Wearing as the key image for the Guardian online exhibition promotion.
  • Digital Drawings
    Digital DrawingsBeing unable to handle a pen or pencil or brush due to an injury to my finger I decided to create drawings using my iPad as a gentle way to draw and then I played with an app on my iPad to create images to sell and be more domestic than many of my works before.
  • Create an image for creative industries
    Create an image for creative industriesThe task of creating an image that will be flexible enough to be referencing artists, designers, digital engineers, business, self-employment, creative and of course all other creative industries as well as those whose influence and work changes or is more formal or something that fit few of the boxes.
