Rosie Savin Angel

This is a portrait of my husband, the artist Pete Angel. After years of sketches I finally made this finished piece for his 58th birthday. It had always been my intention to portray him in a heroic light but after I started it became clear that it was his vulnerable side that interested me more. It is wonderful to draw someone who is so close to you. It helps you to see how complex we all are as individuals and how much there is to love. 

I studied at Edinburgh College of Art (1987-92) and have a BA Hons and Post-Graduate Diploma in Drawing and Painting.
