About me:
Angelique is a native of Amsterdam,the Netherlands, home of bicycles and window prostitution. She started drawing and painting when she was thirty, which is actually not as late as it seems, considering the fact that she had to take special classes when she was young to make her handwriting readable to even herself. Her work is deceptively simple, instantly recognisable and often humurous. She loves food, cats and gallons of Fanta light and used to travel the world extensively until the airlines decided to cramp her 1.80m body into smaller and smaller seat spaces. Enjoys watching Project Catwalk whilst eating borrelnootjes.
