Anglea Lane

Angela Lane creates art out of her studio in Thornhill - art that reflects how she sees nature through her hikes and kayak trips across the lakes of Northern Ontario and the joyful moments in her gardens.

Growing up in the small town of Chatham, her crayons, charcoal and paint became some of her best friends. She knew then she had to do something art-related with her life. She pursued studies and began her career as a graphic artist working in the advertising industry for 20+ years. She continued to study fine art at York University and Ontario College of Art & Design University. 

She called herself “a maker, a creator and a drawer in fine arts” until she discovered encaustics and felt she had found herself as a professional artist. The response to encaustic painting was immediate. I love the freedom of letting loose with my brushes and torches as a piece takes me on a journey of discovery where organic shapes and colours are pulled back and forth in ethereal layers, building and revealing as a story comes to life.

Angela has been presenting her artwork in the Canada and the US since 2019, participating in 65+ exhibitions. Her work is in private and corporate collections in Canada, the US, and Europe.
