Meet Angela the Artist

Angela, originally from Wisconsin, made the beautiful Pacific Northwest her home when she relocated to Oregon in May 2014.

With a passion for both photography and 3D design, Angela has established herself as a professional in both fields. Nestled in the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon, Angela's work spans across various photographic formats and cameras. From the vintage charm of her Zero Image Pinhole and Leica M3 to the versatility of her digital arsenal including the Sony A711 and a trusty Nikon D60 infrared SLR, Angela's creative vision knows no bounds.

In Angela's words, "I'm curious. I am deeply interested in what is not easily accessible or found, yet I am not deterred by the challenge. Rather, I am hungry for adventure and discoveries!" This curiosity and hunger for exploration are reflected in her diverse body of work, which captures the essence of her surroundings with a unique perspective.

Beyond her personal projects, Angela is dedicated to fostering artistic communities. She is the driving force behind Photo Club PDX (PCPDX), a city-wide initiative aimed at building a vibrant artistic community, facilitating growth in photography skills, and encouraging the pursuit of artistic endeavors. Additionally, Angela actively contributes to the Portland Grid Project, a collaborative effort documenting the city grid by grid, with cycles completed every nine years.

Angela's journey in photography and design is not just about capturing moments but also about creating connections, nurturing creativity, and embracing the thrill of exploration. Join her in this exciting adventure through the lens and beyond.
