REVIEWS
Enjoyed class. Angeles was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. Beautiful setting by Quail Lake, but tables for instruction were spread far apart and there was no shade on this very hot day.

Angeles Jonske
Angeles is a mixed media artist inspired by bold, expressive styles such as Basquiat and pop art. With a background in printmaking and mixed media, her work combines layered textures, graphic lines, found objects, collage, and contrasting elements to create art that feels both raw and playful. Her work has been exhibited internationally, featured in a national art publication, and shown throughout the St. Louis art community.

In addition to creating art, Angeles spent several years teaching art to youth through the Hip Hop Poetry Project in juvenile detention centers, helping students explore creativity and self-expression through hands-on art experiences. Her workshops focus on experimentation, confidence, and making art approachable for beginners.

Title or Location:
When I was growing up, we always traveled to Nebraska to spend time with family. I always loved the dirt roads and expansive fields. Invariably it would be storming at some point, and very often I would go to sleep by the sound of the raindrops on the roof. This painting is a nod to those memories.

Title or Location: My home in Colorado Springs.
This painting called ?Poppy? was created from an online painting class that teaches loose acrylics. As a member, we are permitted to use the lessons for practice adding to our technique development. I added my own style using acrylics to bring the image more color, gradient and vibrancy. The painting is displayed in my home for personal enjoyment. The original reference photo used was taken by the teacher for lesson use.

Title or Location: ?Still Waters Beneath Mt Princeton?
This is a 16x20, oil painting, on linen.I was going through my files of reference photos and found this very old postcard. I remember buying it in an antique store in Florence, CO. I pulled it out, faded and worn and loved the composition! So I painted it! This painting will appear in Plein Air Magazine in June, with PikesPeak Plein Air Painters!

Title or Location: Cloud Dancer
?Cloud Dancer? is a 36 x 48 inch acrylic on canvas. The inspiration came from decades ago when my daughter took ballet lessons. She told me after one of her performances that a feeling of elation came over her during part of the dance, and that she felt like she was dancing in the clouds. The painting depicts an adult rather than my young daughter, but the hair color in the painting matches that of my daughter which beautifully compliments the purple clouds.

Title or Location: Vermont
This piece came to me as I was dreaming of laying on the banks of a clear, beautiful river. I could hear the water, and I could feel the colors of the trees and the sky. The serene feeling this vision created in my soul made me feel driven to try to convey it in colorful paints. As I put down the final layer of color, I realized that I brought this vision to life.

Title or Location: Summer afternoon in Parsley Bay
Painting (oil on canvas, 50x40cm) of Parsley Bay on a summer afternoon. Parsley Bay is a little oasis in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, not far from where I live. Few things are as refreshing as a dip there to cool off in the summer heat. As a self taught artist who grew up in the countryside in Sweden and moved to Sydney in 2009, I?ve always been fascinated by the turquoise waters and the gold coloured sandstone cliffs. There is so much beauty around Sydney harbour to be painted!

Title or Location: Authenticity
My art "Authenticity"This piece represents my journey of transformation ? a journey of becoming the truest and most authentic version of myself.It is about releasing limiting beliefs, breaking free from old patterns, and leaving behind the masks I once wore to fit expectations and seek acceptance. The act of removing the mask symbolizes letting go of the false identities that no longer serve me and embracing who I truly am.At its heart, this artwork carries a powerful message: be aut
