The Sculptor

Angela Aston James

 
   Inspiration: 'the sensual contours found in all movement...'

Angela Aston James has lived in many places: Bermuda, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Her inspiration is drawn from her passion for the sensual contours found in all movement, colour, nature, animals, and people.

She studied sculpture in Sydney under Cliff Axelsen, a former student and instructor at the renowned Tom Bass School of Sculpture. Always passionate about figure drawing, Angela’s move to sculpture was a natural progression in exploring the sensuality of the female form. How better to express this sensuality than in slow, rhythmic dancing, as captured by 'The Dancer’.

Angela’s other passion has been landscaping gardens, where curves feature strongly: “I never really planned the curves – they just seemed instinctive.  I suppose my gardens over the years have become giant canvasses.”

Angela has placed drawings and sculptures in private homes in Australia, Bermuda, Canada and New Zealand.
