Angela Fehr Watercolor Artist Biography

Angela's story is a unique one. Growing up a country girl in the lovely Peace River country of Northern British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, her life took a turn in almost the opposite direction when her family moved to Papua New Guinea in 1989.

Living in a village where life was little changed from the stone age, Angela found her teenage years to be vastly different from the stereotype, far from malls, television and pop culture, and she learned to value a simpler life. Letter writing was her link to treasured friends, jungle hiking and outrigger canoeing became her recreation, and the beauty of the rainforest fed her love of vibrant, living color.

Angela Fehr's passion for art is as natural to her as her DNA. From the time she could hold a crayon, Angela loved to draw, and as she entered her teens, she began painting in watercolor. Though her life in the jungles of Papua New Guinea prevented her from taking art classes, Angela began to develop her knowledge of watercolor technique through trial and error, and to create her own style incorporating her love of color and line.

Today, Angela lives near Dawson Creek, BC, back in her beloved Peace country. With her husband Wade, Angela is raising two daughters and a son, all under the age of five, and seeing the world through their eyes.

Angela exhibits regularly with the South Peace Art Society and at the Olde Creek Store in Dawson Creek, BC.

"I do struggle with keeping it simple. Something in us is always striving for more, more, while another part of us is yearning to rest, to really savor life. I want to delight in the small joys of life while still working to be the best version of myself. As an artist, a parent and an individual, I think that a willingness to grow and stretch is essential. Knowing that I have so much further to go is humbling."
