Art is a powerful dimension of communication so when expressing myself I feel excitement, pleasure, and spiritual gratitude for the impulse to inspire and bring about positive in the world along with happiness, love and a desire to make our world a more beautiful and colorful place to live in. I know my painting is finished when I look at my work and feel a completeness of the essence of life. It makes me feel satisfied, content, and at peace with myself. When people view my work, I hope they see the beauty, the emotional dance, and the multi-color nature of the world around us.
My name is Angie Grey. I'm a CAD/architectural drafter during the day but a passionate painter the remainder of my time. I grew up splitting time between Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York and the Lake Traverse Reservation (Enemy Swim district) of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Indian Reservation in South Dakota where I'm an enrolled member. For me, I've always been enchanted and inspired by the magnificent and mysterious so it is no wondering that art is my greatest passion. Being driven by curiosity and an intense desire to understand and describe my world with renderings of colors, images, characters, and landscapes from my dreams and imagination, I expose myself to nostalgia, history, emotion and a strong belief that all life’s characters and elements exhibit their own magic. With a strong desire to intermingle images and philosophies from different places and times, I find myself experimenting with a variety of styles, subject matter and techniques as I attempt to touch someone’s soul through my work.
