"Lost Angles" was a piece for Asymmetric Magazine, a local art Magazine in Los Angeles. “Lost Angels” is about the grit and the culture in Los Angeles. As most of us know, “Los Angeles” translates to City of Angels which gives the city sort of a mysterious, elegant name. Before I moved to LA, I thought of palm trees, surfing, skating, pretty people and fame. But if you live in LA, you know that there is way more to it that the rest of the world doesn’t get a glimpse of every day. LA is full of the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor. It wasn’t until I moved to LA and drove through Skid Row that I saw the disparity first hand and witnessed the “Lost Angels”. People with no homes, people roaming the streets full of trash and tents. Their previous lives no longer present. The city is full of people without homes and equally full of people with some of the most expensive homes in the world. So, I guess the piece is really about that fine line where gold meets grit. Where rich meets poor. Where the glittering sun sets on the city of Lost Angels." --Aja Terwilliger for Asymmetric Magazine

Aja Terwilliger was born in Springfield, Mass but spent most of her life in the suburbs of Atlanta. She moved to Los Angeles in 2012 for a change of pace and has lived in Los Angeles ever since. Aja studied Fine Art for a few years in college but decided she wanted to pursue other avenues as a career and has no formal training in art. Both Aja's grandparents were artists and encouraged her to paint starting from a young age. In 2018 Aja started a Masters Program to become an acupuncturist and took some time off from painting to pursue a career but always felt she was missing something. After experiencing a loss of a parent in 2023 Aja realized painting is part of her path in life and she now finds balance in both her career as an acupuncturist and creating artwork. Aja is inspired by Pop Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein and explores the use of bright colors coupled with patterned backgrounds to create playfulness and a sense of movement.
