angel is a multidisciplinary artist and the creator of WHO GETS FULL NETS?. Born and raised on Snaw-naw-as lands and waters (also known as “Nanoose Bay”), angel is currently living and practicing on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations (also referred to as “Vancouver”). angel carries Irish & German heritage.

Creating across a range of modalities including textile art, zines, digital collage, watercolour, and more, angel utilizes reclaimed and recycled materials to walk as gently as they can on this Earth. Their artistic practice often explores the intersections of grief and joy, community, presence, and struggle for liberation. Through slow, tactile practices like hand stitching, carving, drawing, painting, and weaving, angel centres labour, honours social histories, and deepens connection to the ecosystems that sustain us.
