About Angel....
Angel Dyke, is a self taught Louisiana artist, opting not to follow the beaten path of formal art training but rather pursuing her own form of raw, passionate creativity. Doing so has afforded her the ability to stay true to her own untainted creative emotion, instead of creating art influenced by the opinions of others. Always marching to the unheard beat of a different drummer, Angel has always preferred to follow her own unique form of artistic expression. Her love for the arts became evident even as a small child, preferring to spend many hours in solitude stationed in her own imaginative world of color and crayon. She spent most of her childhood drawing, painting and dreaming of one day becoming a professional artist. Now she is living her dream, painting from her studio in her native northern Louisiana. Impacted by the rich, colorful culture of her surroundings, Angel's brush depicts the joys of living life the... Laissez le bon temps roule! way. Although she is native to northern Louisiana, her love for New Orleans can be felt while viewing her art. Whether you are purchasing a French Quarter painting, whimsical still life, or a one of her posh contemporary abstracts- you'll be engaged by the intense vibrancy of her work. Growing up in such a diverse cultural melting pot has afforded Angel the gift of being diverse in her thinking as well as her art.
Angel's works are found in both corporate and private collections throughout the United States and abroad. Angel's works have increased in value within the last five years and are expected to steadily rise. Angel collaborates with galleries and exhibiting in shows both off and online. She is a juried member of EBSQ+, an online collective of artists. Her prints are featured on art.com as well as allposters. You can view her work by visiting her website: www.neworleans-paintings.com

We received it and love it! We are so pleased. Now we are just debating where to hang it. Herb wants to put it in the den to look at it all of the time; I want to put it in the living room to look at when I first walked in the door. Thank you, Jessica Evans

Angel, Hello, we have received our paintings in perfect condition. They are hanging and look better than we had hoped. Thank you so much for your attention to detail in the artwork itself as well as the "business" end with your excellent communication. Please do notify us of similar pieces. We like abstract with several colors or bright colors. Thanks again. It was great doing business with you. Best of luck to you in the future. Mark Techmeyer

Angel, I know this started out as a purchase of art. But I want to thank you for your words of encouragement. I need that right about now. There is no way to ever recover what I have lost. So this is a new beginning starting with your paintings, which are the first items I have purchased. Your right things have a way of working out ok, so I'm not going to look back just forward. Each time I look at your paintings I will not only smile because of their beauty but the beauty behind the person that created them. You have a kind heart and you are truly an Angel not just in name only. Thanks again-Sincerely, Gail Mullens
