Angela Edmonds

Angela Edmonds considers herself an impressionist painter of animals. Her paintings are loose with bold values with the idea of bringing the animal to life. Using her background as a filmmaker, she places her subjects in the frame as if she were shooting a scene in a movie. Angela believes a painting should be noticed know matter what size and read from across a room.

As a child Angela had lived in the bush of Alaska and rural Minnesota. This is where she learned the appreciation of wildlife. Angela received her BA in Fine Art from the California Institute of the Arts in California. She started her career as a layout artist for Walt Disney Feature Animation and gradually transformed into a fine artist.

She started to paint in oil to refresh her creative energy as a filmmaker. A few years ago she started to release her paintings for sale. Her subject matter is her ranch animals and whatever wildlife wonders onto her ranch that she shares with her husband and menagerie of animals. The paintings of more exotic animals are from her trips to Alaska and abroad.

Angela Edmonds presently owns and operates Edmonds Studios Animation with her husband Russ Edmonds. It is located in northern California a short distance from San Francisco. Angela is a producer of children's programs and also creates original concepts for commercial television. She uses almost every art medium to convey her ideas, however, oil is her medium of choice for painting fine art.

Russ Edmonds

Russ Edmonds was a Supervising Animator for Walt Disney Studios Animation for many years, working on classic movies such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and The Lion King. He is the founder and creator of Edmonds Studios Animation. In his free time he likes to work with pastels.

Russ's style is rough and raw to capture a moment in time, much like animation. His pastels come to life through movement. Most of his work is based around his ranch where he lives and one of his favorite sports, Cutting. Cutting is a sport that involves horses and cattle. If you watch the sport of Cutting the movement is like a ballet between the horse and the rider and the cow. This subject is perfect for his style and medium.
