Angela Costello Original Prints

Angela is an artist and educator with over thirty years’ experience in printmaking and arts-education. She specializes in water based, UV-cured screen printmaking (aka serigraphy and silkscreen printmaking). Her images begin with shapes, textures, lines and colours inspired by nature, felines, and human-made forms, that gradually coalesce through the printmaking process. As the elements are added to the paper, layer on layer with translucent inks, the image emerges in colours ranging from rich and complex to subtle monochrome.

 

As an instructor in the Queen's University Bachelor of Education program for over twenty-five years, Angela taught courses in visual art curriculum, arts-in-education K-12 and museum education. She has taught Visual Art and English at the secondary level and led art workshops for students at the elementary level. She has coordinated multiple annual exhibitions and hosted visual artists-in-residence in The Studio, the multi-disciplinary arts space at Queen's Faculty of Education. She has also curated and installed art in private homes, and designed solo and group exhibitions, most recently for the 2019 Kingston Prize, a biennial competition for recent portraits of Canadian subjects by Canadian artists.
