Angela Harding is a very talented printmaker working with narrative imagery and repetitive themes. She uses a selection of techniques, in particular, etching and drypoint. Consequently the quality of line and tone in her work is rich and intense. Angela's prints are based upon nature, animals and birds; she is clearly fascinated by the shape and form of such creatures and therefore these take on personalities and experiences of her own. The landscape acts as a theatrical backdrop in which her characters are set. Being surrounded by farmland and the typically English landscape within which she lives is an obvious inspiration to her.

Angela's work is wonderfully illustrative and particularly representative of her own experiences; the elements in her work tell stories of places that she has seen or people she has met. This representation is subtle, as people become animals and objects.

Angela has been a printmaker for twenty years and is an avid member of the Leicester Print Workshop. She has taken part in a number of international exhibitions and group shows throughout the UK.

Angela is a remarkable printmaker who produces magical prints.
