Angela studied drawing at the National Gallery Victoria School with Ian Armstrong and painting under Shirley Bourne OAM, at the Victorian Artists Society. In the 1970's, Angela was one of the Eltham-based group: "7 Painters", exhibiting in Melbourne and Adelaide. Angela was awarded the Alice Bale Art Travelling Scholarship in 1983, engaged in tours studying Fine Art history in France, Germany, Italy and Russia, during her scholarship year based in London.

Angela is a Fellow of the Victorian Artists Society; former member of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society; member of the Melbourne Society of Women Painters and Sculptors and of Chelsea Arts Club, London. She has taught extensively, including at the Victorian Artists Society and Malvern Art Society.

As a studio artist since 1992, in the inspired setting of Montsalvat, she enjoys its vast array of subject-matter. Teaching informally in the lofty Art School Studio, Angela works alongside her students who select from the unique props available for still life and enjoy the captivating outdoor subjects on offer!
