Artist Angela Rowe seeks to explore the
magical stories in everyday items
IBy Emory Rakestraw
N November 2020, the world was well into peak pandemic
fatigue. Paired with shorter days, cold weather, and dying
greenery, it was hard to find color in such bleak settings.
The month perfectly encapsulated the feeling of walking
into winter during a time that already held innate darkness.
For artist Angela Rowe, a late-blooming persimmon tree
in her neighbor’s yard exuded a ray of hope. She painted it
with a lone yellow chair with a single fruit on the ground and
an almost ominous front door inviting one to wonder what’s
beyond.
Artist Angela Rowe works in various mediums in her
space at Acme Art Studios. Right: Mountain Apples 3,
30 x 40 inches, oil on canvas.
