Angela Harding was born in 1960 in Stoke -on-Trent. She studied Fine Art Printmaking and painting at Leicester Polytechnic followed by an MA in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University.

The recurring inspiration for Angela's work is the flora and fauna of the British countryside. Her studio,pictured in the background above, looks out over the farmland landscape of Rutland and provides constant and ever changing inspiration for her work. Fields of sheep and the soft greens, greys and blues of this landscape form the backdrop for her paintings and prints.

Angela's work does not strive for a literal portrait but attempts to capture the mood and atmosphere of her surroundings. The composition of many of her prints tell us a story with several elements completing the tale.
