Angela Pierro

Our world comes to us illuminated; steeped in color. As an artist, I’ve always been fascinated by this relationship – the affect light has on color, and the visceral response we, in turn, have to it. The natural convergence of these things has long been a driving force in my work, one that is in a perpetual state of reinvention, inspired by my love of nature, and memory of place. My hope is to create work that invites quiet contemplation and an escape to a reality both familiar and foreign; an exploration of the dynamic space that exists between the light and the dark.
