About Angeline

I am a Trinidad-born abstract expressionist artist. Before I knew what being an artist meant, I was the little girl who carried a drawing book to every family function. The first thing I learned to draw was SpongeBob because I was a huge fan. I eventually stopped creating when I went to college, and for years, art became something I left behind.

​

The last time I painted was in high school, when I entered the PowerGen “Dream a Dream, Shape My Future” schools art competition. My painting was displayed on the streets of Wrightson Road in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Something in me came alive through that experience, but I lost touch with it as I found myself in the corporate world. In November 2025, I started painting again. This time, I did not return to art because I had everything figured out. I returned because I needed it. Living with PMDD has made me experience emotions I cannot always explain, and painting became a way for me to sit with them, understand them, and let them exist outside of me.

​

Painting is not a hobby for me. It is my safe haven. I paint my pain, my love, my emotions, and the things I cannot always say. I want my work to reach people who carry things they struggle to put into words. I want someone to look at a painting and see a part of themselves in it, to feel something they may have buried, or to awaken to something within themselves.

 

I paint strictly with my hands, using both because it makes me feel connected to the canvas, like there is no separation between me and what I am creating. So when you take one of my paintings home, you are taking more than a piece of art. You are taking a piece of my story, and maybe finding a piece of your own in it.
