Angie Falstrom resides in the rural town of Lyme, CT, an area whose bucolic beauty has been attracting artists for generations. She finds much of her inspiration for painting there. Specializing in miniature watercolors, she captures the spiritual quality that light and atmosphere bring to the scene whether the subject is a landscape or a beautifully constructed still life. In 2004 she received the 2nd Place Still Life Award at the 71st International Exhibition of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Engravers Society of Washington DC. She has received more than two hundred commissions in her career. Her work is in public and private collections in the Eastern United States, including that of Timothy Mellon, Connecticut Congressman Rob Simmons, and Jeffrey Andersen, Director of the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme. In 1997 she illustrated the children’s book Helping Billy Bluebird by Mary Ellen Caruso, and she is currently collaborating with the author on a new book. Angie received her bachelor’s degree in art, with a minor in art history, from Connecticut College in New London. She is a member of the Connecticut Watercolor Society and the Lyme Art Association, where she is an Elected Artist Member and has served on the Board of Directors. |
