MSAA features the work of many talented artists affected by multiple sclerosis as part of our annual MSAA Art Showcase. Each month we share these artists’ inspiring stories and beautiful artwork with you as our Artist of the Month. This month, we celebrate Hope Angel as the June Artist of the Month. Hope is from Seattle, WA.

About the Artist – Hope Angel

“As an emerging artist, I strive to live outside the mainstream. I appreciate the eccentric alongside the ordinary. My art is a product of my imagination. Haunting. Unique. Abstract. Surreal. Brightly colored. My paintings say it all without saying a single word.

Water speaks to and inspires me. It feeds my diverse and varied artwork. The forgiveness of acrylics allows me to skew and transform water’s powerful energy. This earthy element draws the attention of the viewer to the texture and vision of the painting itself.

Altering how we view art is but one way to challenge the unwritten rules, beliefs, and fears that shape our world and behaviors within. Its willingness for transformation makes it the perfect medium for soulful exploration. My goal is to inspire those who see my art to take an imaginary trip with me and explore the world from a unique and colorful perspective.”
