Angela Maritz

“Strong, confident, joyful art to make you feel like that, live like that and love like that.”

Balancing vibrant colours and bold strokes, drawing from the harmony and unpredictability of nature, while exploring the depth of human emotion.

For Angela it wasn't the time spent learning to draw which created the artist, but rather the moments where she felt free to transcribe her emotions through paint - with no fear of getting it wrong. These moments silenced her mind and from this state a deeper connection to herself and her inner strength, and the world around her, leading to confidence and an exuberance born.

Angela says “Painting allows me to feel fully alive. Feeling alive means feeling content to feel however I feel.”

Angela works as a full time artist, based in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.

Angela is mostly self-taught, she has been painting professionally for over 15 years.

Angela exhibits extensively throughout her home country, New Zealand as well as participating in numerous international fairs.
