My Bio
Angelita Peterson is an emerging self-taught visual artist. She was born on Saba, Dutch Caribbean where she has been painting actively in her free time since 2008.

Her love for the Caribbean is evident in her choice of subjects such as flora & fauna and underwater themes. Her developing artistic style envelopes the variety of her experiences and pays homage to her adage that “life is a catalyst for the creative process”.

She works mainly with watercolours because of its spontaneous and translucent properties. She does however also work with oils from time to time. Recently, she has been experimenting by adding texture to her paintings.

Her inspiration to create artwork can come from anywhere - from the sound of music to an emotion and memories of her travels in and beyond the Caribbean.

Her favourite styles of art are surrealism, abstract expressionism and visionary art. She uses the juxtaposition of subjects to achieve balance in her compositions as well as the use of complementary vivid colours to achieve aesthetically appealing works of art.

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing great & happy 2012 to everyone! I know it's time for a long overdue update! So 2011 was a busy year! I'll give you a brief rundown... I took an Art History class and passed with an A. It reconfirmed my love for the Fine Arts even more.  I exhibited to the public for the first time ever as part of a group art exhibition entitled "The Locals" at the Peanut Gallery here on Saba which was an exhilarating experience. In November 2011, the Royal Family of the Netherlands - HRM Queen Beatrix, HRH Crown Prince Willem - Alexander & HRH Princess Máxima visited the Saba Lace & Art group exhibition of which I w

Helloooooooo folks, So I know it's been a while since I've updated my journal or posted new artwork but I guess I should let you know what's going on. I am busy getting my new studio space ready. I am turning the old store room in the house to my studio. I have it pretty much all cleared up now. I just have to Clorox the walls and paint it, then move my supplies there and hopefully will do that this coming weekend. It's a bigger space so I will be able to work on larger paintings as well as get messy with the paint because I can let the paint drop all over the floor so I hope to do more spontaneous painting or 'automatic' painting. I also

Hi folks, I hope everyone is doing well! So I just wanted to let you know that if you are visiting our lovely Island of Saba, you may stop by the Saba Tourist Office located in the Windwardside to view some of my original artwork.
