Voila
Angela Garrod's year in polymer clay
Angela was born in Germany into an artist family where sh received her art training from an early age from her father. Her inspiration comes from a strong and instinctive sense for design and colour found anywhere, even in a building or plant. She discovered polymer clay less than a year ago and is still experimenting with what is achievable with the medium.
"My
pieces are intended for those who
love the unusual, " she says. "My greatest reward is to see the face of
the viewer light up with astonishment and delight at the design and
material of my work."
Without
a doubt Angela's work astonishes and delights. How she is taking
established techniques to new heights of artistry in such short period
of time is impressive. Most importantly, her considerable technical
skills remain subservient to her unequivocal sense of style.
