Angela's art work was exhibited at a special display at the Lock Gallery in Coventry's Canal Basin in 2010. The exhibition was entitled
CELLULAR LIFE, and featured several of Angela's paintings based around this theme.

CELLULAR LIFE
Angela says....
"My inspiration is the isolation of the modern way of life spent hunched over a keyboard talking to the world, not seeing it! This was inspired by my teenage daughter's obsession with her laptop!"
The life in boxes,
Isolation from others,
“Don’t touch me I’m human!”
Growing away from each other,
Closing into self . . .slowly.
Drawing in the emotions,
Creating gaps in between.
Industrial evolution?
Mechanised reduction,
Only the colours remain,
The rest recedes,
Unimportant,
Each alone,
Singular,
But with some exceptions,
Like a Cellular Life
With Variations.
