Angel's Bio

University of Minnesota Duluth Business Degree with emphasis in Marketing, 1999

Self taught artist creating works for over 20 years, Angel has been painting with coffee for 4 years.

Angel’s favorite works vary by subject. Some are conceptual such as “Ilmarinen's Journey to the Northland” based on the Finnish folktales from the Kalevala.

Other paintings are more realistic such as “The Coffee Connoisseur.”

Many paintings reflect subjects close to her heart. Her love of nature comes through in many paintings. The sepia tones help to enhance the warm nostalgic feelings associated with her subjects.

Angel also loves to draw and paint with other mediums. Her ultimate goal is to travel all over the world and painting her experiences.

Andrew's Bio

University of Minnesota Duluth Degree in Graphic Design, Departmental Honors, Magna cum laude, 1999

Andy has been painting with coffee for four years.

Andy’s favorite works are the ones that reflect his Scandinavian heritage. For almost each exhibition, Andy would like to paint a Viking ship, Nordic symbols, or other images in reference to Scandinavia.His favorite painting from this genre is “Nordic Storm of Fury” which depicts a wind god blowing into the sail of a Viking ship.

Another idea that piques Andy’s interest is the little events in the daily life. Leaves, coffee cups, mosquito bites and ants have all been subjects of his paintings. He correlates the everyday occurrences with the coffee color, being a sepia tone, to old photos and memories. That strong connection creates a warm mood.

Aside from being a graphic designer, Andy likes to carve wooden figures out of branches, take photos of his Boston Terrier, Gidget, and read Nordic mythology.

His ultimate goal is to travel the world and paint his experiences,then come back to his gallery to showcase the works.

Andy can be reached at justcoffeeart@yahoo.com
