Art by Angela HARDING British Art and Artists at Red Rag Gallery Angela Harding was born in 1960 in Stoke-on-Trent. She studied Fine Art Painting and Printmaking at Leicester Polytechnic from 1979-1982. This was followed by undertaking an MA in Fine Art from Nottingham Trent University. After leaving college Angela continued to develop her personal art works as well as working in the arts. She was the Director of the regional printmaking centre, Leicester Print Workshop, and prior to this worked for an art consultancy. She also taught at a number of Higher Education Colleges. The main focus of Angela Harding's art work is British birds combined with the British countryside. This has been a recurring inspiration for Angela's work and walking her dogs in the countryside is a daily routine that is often the starting point for new ideas. She works recording subjects in small sketchbooks, noting down quick drawings of what she sees. Back in the studio Angela looks out over the farmland landscape of the smallest British county - Rutland. Fields of sheep and the soft greens, greys and blues of this land form the backdrop for many of her paintings. Talking about her paintings Amanda says: "I have always loved birds; even at primary school I carried round a small orange suitcase that contained my feather collection. This love and fascination with birds has stayed with me, I do not consider my self a twitcher, the interest I have is in their form and the environments they inhabit. My paintings capture a glimpse of the atmosphere they evoke." Much of Angela Harding paintings are inspired by the landscape of the East Midlands. Other locations with a rich abundance of flora and fauna of interest to Angela include: Norfolk, Cornwall, Suffolk and Shropshire. Her paintings have a feel reminicent of British art in the 1940 and 50's. Angela Harding does not seek to produce a faithful reproduction of subjects in her paintings. Rather she attempts to capture the mood and atmosphere of her surroundings. In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Angela Harding art work has been exhibited at other leading UK Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag Gallery is sourced from the Angela Harding artist studio and like all Red Rag Modern British art it can be shipped worldwide. or CALL RED RAG NOW on 01451 832563 or outside the UK +44 1451 832563.
