Angela Bueckert
I am located in the lower mainland, BC and grew up on Vancouver Island with the mountains and sea as my primary natural world inspirations. I often visit my mother who currently lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Growing up both watching Japanese animation and loving outdoors, I was often aiming to work in digital media but also interested in watercolours and photography.
My subjects range from dragons to little birds and endangered species subjects, which I also upload on print on demand sites like Redbubble to help keep costs down while allowing my work to be available on various products only when people order them (better for environment as well, no "min orders" that may go unsold).
As a new mother to a 2 year old, my recent focus has been on young children focused work and have been integrating picture book styles, as well as creating some colouring pages.
I'd like to get into preschool aged educational picture work for this season. If you want to see more of my work, you can follow my Instagram and Facebook page.
