The Arts are embedded in Angela’s DNA: Not only has she wielded pencils, crayons, and markers from when she was as small as her book characters, she’s also studied violin, piano, voice, and ballet (her heart won’t let go!). Much to her teenage sons’ chagrin, she is often found – and heard! – singing, humming, whistling, and dancing to the music swirling through her neurons.

Angela has won a number of illustration awards, including the 2021 SW-Texas SCBWI Portfolio Award, the 2020 Summer SCBWI Bulletin Art Spot, the 2017 SCBWI Don Freeman Grant Winner, and the 2017 RMC-SCBWI Portfolio Showcase.

She’s illustrated for several clients, including Babybug, Ladybug, and Spider Magazines. Cute kids and charismatic animals are her specialty. Above all else, she aims to delight, educate, and inspire love while attempting to capture the wonder of our world and the beauty within each human soul.
