Spotlight on Instructors
Angela Hansen is a practicing Lake Country artist and has
been an art teacher with SD23 for the last 13 years; she
currently teaches art, photography and graphics at George
Elliot Secondary. Growing up on a small farm in the Cariboo
Angela knew at a very young age she wanted to be an
artist. After graduating high school she immediately moved
to Vancouver where she attended the Emily Carr Institute of
Art and Design and received a Bachelor of Design and then
went on to the University of Victoria where she received her
teaching degree.
Angela works with, and has shown artworks done in a variety of mediums; however, her love affair with the encaustic
medium has taken over her art-making endeavours the last
several years. The medium lends itself to working in such a
variety of ways that her explorations with it have taken her
work in very new and fascinating directions. She adds a variety of objects and other mediums into her abstract encaustic pieces and they have recently become very sculptural.
