Angela Vernon Bates
Paintings and Textiles
My artwork is influenced by line and movement. Rhythm and flow features in both my soft draping jackets made from vintage /pre-loved fabrics. A love of colour combines with this to make these one-off individual slip-on special garments.
I studied at Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts before moving to London to the Royal College of Music, where I won several scholarships before starting my career in opera. I have also had my own antique restoration business, specializing in re-gilding antique furniture and frames and restoring decorated surfaces.
I also teach yoga to older people.
