Local charmer, Angela, has taken an initiative and I admire her methodology and determination. She is making market-ready commercially smart art, true to her passion, and undertaking a campaign on the crowd funding site,
Indegogo. Here is how she describes her current purpose to raise funds to attend a residency in France (
I love residencies):
My name is
Angela Gooliaff and I’m an emerging visual artist living in Vancouver, BC,
Canada. I have a passion for telling stories, especially stories about tiny but
fascinating creatures among us – bugs!
My favourite
subject to draw is ants. And I hope these ants will take me all the way to
France. Why ants? Because they are admirable and multi-dimensional little
beings. No one works harder than an ant. In my greeting cards, I have also
expanded to other interesting and beautiful bugs such as British Columbia’s
Rugose stag beetle, a Blue Morpho butterfly, ladybugs, dragonflies and
others.
My goal is to
raise $5,000.00 to attend DRAWinternational, an artist residency program in
Caylus, France. DRAWinternational provides illustrators a one-month
opportunity to focus entirely on their artwork, expanding their ideas and
creativity, and collaborate with other like-minded artists. I am honoured to
have received acceptance to this program.
