Angie was born and raised in Idaho and began learning drawing from her mother, who is also an artist.  With no "formal" training, Angie is a self-taught artist.  She works in colored pencil and oil on canvas and masonite. 

Angie has a wide variety of subjects, horses being her first love.  She lived and sometimes worked on various ranches around Idaho for several years, breaking and training horses.  Her husband, a retired US Fish & Wildlife Service Agent, is instrumental in the accuracy of Angie's wildlife art, making sure animal anatomy and habitat are correct.  Also a military veteran, her husband drew her into the realm of military drama & aircraft.  Aircraft have always been a part of Angie's life, often attending air-shows with her family.  From spending 3 months on a wagon train as workers, to traveling to Africa, to flying with the military, Angie tries to "experience" her subjects first hand, "getting into it" makes for a much more exciting painting/drawing.  She and her husband are always looking for their next adventure.  They are amateur photographers, taking most of the photographs that Angie uses in her artwork.

Some of the shows Angie has been invited to have been the Pacific Rim Show; Friends of the National Zoo Show in Washington, D.C.; the Western Art Association Show in Ellensburg, WA; the Western Heritage Artists Show in Great Falls, MT ; and many others.  She has won many other first place and best of show awards in local shows across the northwest, including:  Idaho Ducks Unlimited; finalist, Idaho Duck Stamp; finalist, Wyoming Conservation Stamp; and Director's Choice Award, NW Territorial Art Show.  She has illustrated for Western Horseman magazine, Idaho Fish & Game, US Fish & Wildlife Service, BLM, IRS, and Smith & Wesson Engraving.  She has been published in "The Best of Colored Pencil", and had an article written about her in Equine Images Magazine.
