Monica Angle Contemporary Painting Large Scale Tree Line Series Abstract

2014

Buffalo, New York-based contemporary artist Monica Angle creates mesmerizing abstract paintings that reference topics that she explored as a student — folklore, mythology and geography — areas that paired well with her studies in painting and printmaking. Angle uses watercolors, oil paint and monoprint processes to create layers of rich color in her compelling abstracted landscapes and other works.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Angle earned her BA from Harvard College. She has an MS in geography from Pennsylvania State University, and she also studied printmaking and bookmaking at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

As an active member of the community in Buffalo, Angle works as a teaching artist with the Just Buffalo Literary Center while also serving on the boards of public art and community engagement committees, including the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Ballet Artists of Western New York, the Buffalo Seminary and the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. 

Angle has had solo exhibitions at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, SUNY Buffalo State College and the Fralin Museum of Art. Her work has also been shown at the City Hall in Minneapolis and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
