We had the good fortune of connecting with Angeline Tournier and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Angeline, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I’m from Colorado. Very outdoor a orientated.. like to spend as much time outside as possible. I into big views – top of mountains, coastal views. Like to paint these. Especially paintings that evoke a place. So not an accurate figurative representation. But changing colours and perspective to evoke how the landscape made me feel (happy).
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I paint landscapes with oil and palette knife. Currently into the coastal paths and beaches of Cornwall, England, Monterey pines and surfers. Also did a series of ski runs in Summit County Colorado. Exhibited at the Affordable Art Fair in London this year and sold most of my work.
Currently working on a new series for the fall.
It’s a job I love but it isn’t always straightforward – sometimes paintings don’t work out the way I want!
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Cornwall. Surf in the morning. Coastal paths in the afternoon. Fresh mussels for dinner.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
