CONTACT ANGELA
Angela Denise Simms is a multidisciplinary intuitive artist, writer, and empath.
Her ethereal abstractions—mixed media, collage, and Procreate—map the inner weather of transformation: grief to grace, rupture to repair.
Layering color, symbolic fragments, and translucency, she builds luminous portals where personal myth meets collective memory.
Her process draws from out‑of‑body and trance experiences, braiding image and poem into living palimpsests.
Angela’s current body of work refines this language while keeping the edges honest—veils, seams, and thresholds that invite viewers to stand inside what a moment feels like.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My work emerges from a lifelong conversation with energy, memory, and the hush that follows upheaval.
I paint and collage as an intuitive empath: listening first, then translating the felt world—grief, grace, rupture, repair—into layered color fields, glyph-like fragments, and shifting thresholds.
Each piece is a waypoint in a larger cartography of consciousness: veils, portals, and seams where a story is both ending and being born.
I am drawn to the liminal—the lucid edge between matter and meaning.
My process is iterative and alchemical: tearing and recombining paper, embedding symbolic ephemera, glazing and sanding, adding translucency until a vibration appears.
Digital work extends the language of the studio, allowing me to braid poems, photographs, and marks into luminous palimpsests.
What arrives is never a depiction; it is an atmosphere—an invitation to stand inside what a moment feels like.
Recurring themes—hollow and healing, drift and return—trace my own crossings through out‑of‑body states, trance, and the slow work of mending.
I work to keep the edges honest: to retain fray, light-leak, and echo, so the surface carries its history.
Ultimately, I want the viewer to recognize themselves—not as an answer but as a resonance.
If you feel a chamber open, or the air change, the piece is doing its work: revealing the tender architecture between what is seen and what is sensed.
