I am a predominantly lens based artist, but I also value transdisciplinary art and the various possibilities and outcomes that intersection and collage inspire. … The theme of uncovering beauty in the mundane while celebrating life's essence with authenticity is the common thread woven into all of my work.

Angelo won first prize for the Best of the West contest in 2016 and third prize in 2017.

Angelo about Angelo: I am a cartoonist and a fine artist who has been deeply influenced by cartoons and children's book illustrations.  My early heroes were cartoonists like Charles Schulz, Jack Kirby, Bill Watterson as well as children's book illustrators like Maurice Sendak, Garth Williams, John Tenniel, who had these great pen and ink styles.  During college, I acquired a love of a wider group of fine artists.  But I never lost my love of the great pen and ink cartoonists and artists.
