Angela Woods

     My paintings have a lot of emotions that convey a certain atmosphere. Although I draw upon my life experiences for inspiration, I hope that viewers see my work through their own experiences and feelings.
     Many viewers have remarked about my use of black and white, with limited color. My concepts are random, but simple. They often remind people of a place or event in their own or someone else's past.
I am still evolving as an artist. Getting the values right is always a challenge with black and white painting. I use many layers to achieve this. Although I appreciate and employ realism, I always render it through my own reality.
