Creating Art through dance, color, and texture. Connecting Spirit through intution, movement, and breath. Transforming Evolution in moments of time.
MessageAngie Wimmer was born with a crazy fun imagination and a wild desire to express herself. She fell in love with color and chaotic layered texture at an early age. Determined to become a Fairy Goddess of all things Wild and Wonderful, she picked up a box of crayons, sang a song to the elements while dancing to the Moon.
She is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on encaustics, cold wax mixed media, textiles, dance and photography. She holds a Bachelors or Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Her day job as an Adult Oncology Nurse contributes to her desire to bridge healing with creative expression. She is also a Wiccan Priestess, Yogini, and Reiki Master.
Her creative focus is to bridge the intuitive connection to our inner landscape with abstracting light, texture and possible boundaries. At the core of her work, she seeks to create an emotional connection between the art and the viewer. Creating a direct emotional connection is of highest importance to her work.
She has exhibited her work at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln, Attleboro Arts Museum, the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative, the HeartSpot Gallery in East Providence and the Third Sanctum in Cranston Rhode Island. She teaches at the HeartSpot and in her private studio in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Statement
My work is an ongoing conversation with the idea of the hidden story. As an oncology nurse, I’ve learned to look beyond the surface to find the truth in our human experience. What we see in each other at first glance is often not the truth a person carries. Every person has hidden depths within that adds to our strength and beauty.
I use of process of layering to create textural depth to each piece. As the layers progress, they create a window into the painting that allows a visceral connection with the story of the character or subject portrayed.
I’m attracted to many sources for inspiration. I love the tapestries and portrait paintings of the Renaissance, the emotion of abstraction, the microcosms in forest undergrowth, the colors found in nature’s growth and decay. The depths found in musical compositions and the sounds in nature. Everywhere life comes together in moments suspended.
